- Hello everyone! Today we check out the Cranberry Mall located in Seneca/Cranberry Pennsylvania. This mall is in the Oil City Region, and is a vintage treat! Opening in 1981, this mall was meant to cater the Oil City area. However, due to multiple ownership changes and poor location, this mall started failing in the 2000s. Let's check out this wonderful Rural Charm of 1980s retail!

What are your thoughts on Cranberry Mall, and what do you think it's future holds?
Great video. Right now the future does not look great. Hopefully it can survive for a while. Hopefully Kohan does not buy the mall.
The clearview mall in Butler Pa was the twin of this mall until they remodeled in 1990.
Not good it's an out of state buyer we lost The Movie Theater, The Shoe Department, Asian Express Restaurant and more 😔
I was 15 and living in Oil City when this mall opened, and my friends and I spent so much time there shopping, eating, seeing movies, and playing in the arcade. I'm glad to see it's still there, even though it's clearly struggling. Thank you for this video and preserving this once thriving place as a sort of time capsule.
Great Video!!!!!
Thank you man! I really appreciate it! :)
❤I grew up there…. Miss the 80’s
I live in area where this mall is at living nearby in Franklin, PA. I was a little child of 7 to 8 years old when this mall was built having memories of it being built then seeing cinder blocks lifted by helicopters to build Mall. I remember Hills, Sears, Bon Ton, and JCPENNEY all very well and the Carmike movie theatres before it was taken over by The Movies. I have fond memories of going to movies and arcade with family as a child and with friends later on as an adult and sometimes myself as well. I remember when this Mall had corporate chain stores filling most everywhere back in 1980s and 1990s with local small businesses centered in walkway on top of this. I also have fond memories of Roy Rodgers restaurant there with Pappans restaurant as well. I remember the hot dog stand with popcorn and slushies at Hills and fond memories of going out with family as a child to do school and clothing shopping at JCPENNEY and Bon Ton stores always going into fitting rooms to try clothes on to see what fits. It will be interesting to see what happens in near future. This Mall was just sold to Dundas Real Estate Investments and hopefully this new owner of Mall will repair things up and repair parking lot as well and not charge outrageous rents either making the place the place it once was with chain stores and businesses moving back in Mall and making mall more inviting to have a new owner in the future taking over the now closing movie theatres as well with new owners reopening theatres as movie theatres out at Cranberry here. The last day of operating theatres out at mall here is January 15. The previous owners of Mall charged ridiculous rents, caused the place to fall apart and delapidated, unfairly evicted tenants of Mall and so on which is a reason why mall is shape that is in and why some businesses have left there and a reason why theatres at mall here are closing down. It is great that there are still businesses in Mall as the new owner Dundas now has ownership for I have hope in Dundas and the future of this local mall here as well. I love this mall to because of this 80s style architecture, the water fountains to and so on and hopefully things will succeed at this mall in the future.
On a note: love the music on this video for I feel it is fitting of shopping malls that look like this. Thank you for this video!
The 2 cousins pizza is one of the best around
Great video! This a beautiful mall! Nice drone work too💯🔥
Thx man!
The production on your videos is just fantastic. This channel really deserves to go places
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate it!
Great Video!!! Love the Fountains!!!! F+L, Corey
Great video!
Hey Andrew I had recently commented on your Clarion Mall walkthrough and I have to say yes I used to drive out to this mall as well when you got mid way through the store on the opposite end of Bon-Ton was JC Penny and CO OP used to be sears and to the left of it used to be National Record Mart where I had gone to get all my music CD's even made friends with the cashier in which both her and myself keep in touch. Amazing you've walked all 3 malls that I grew up with and I thank you for the good memories doing so. Clarion Mall, Cranberry Mall and Butler Mall. I gotta toss a sub to you for your good work.
Hey, I appreciate your support! That’s why I document all these malls! I know that not only are they great in terms price of architecture, but I also do it to preserve them for memories for people who used to shop at these malls in their young days and have memories!
The Clearview mall in Butler PA is almost identical lay out and is struggling as well.
From my stance, I would say the malls future is unknown since it is now currently up for sale because some malls will either get bought and then redeveloped or the new owners try to save the property. Great video Andrew!
Pretty much where that mall is located is the most rural part of Pennsylvania. Oil City is nice but it’s obviously struggling since it’s a small town.
What a a beautiful mall I'm so sad all the malls are dying I miss going to the mall so much I'm sure this place is beautiful and huge especially in it's Day what a waste of so much money etc
Just found your channel. I'm getting Dan Bell vibes, wondering if you used him for inspiration for these? I grew up in the area and I can say what really killed this mall was the Grove City Outlets which was just a short drive with far more choices. Lots, including myself would just make that trip to because a lot of the retail stores here had limited selections. As the case with many small town area malls the local major employers started to shudder. Jobs started to dry up and people just moved away to find work. I worked for a small business in the mall in 2004. The management of the mall raised the rent by 50%. That storefront sat vacant for over 2 years before someone came in. Their tactics drove out the small business, the irony is that the small business are the only places keeping malls going now.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Dan Dell is definitely a huge inspiration for me, and I love hearing peoples stories on the Mall, and hearing other information that I did not know about about the Mall, so I really appreciate hearing this information!
This shows the overall decline of the area. This place was packed in the 80s-mid 90s. The antique mall in the old Sears location has down sized to the Jo-Ann Fabrics location. The movie theater is gone.
If this place is truly in the middle of nowhere there will be no hurry to demolish it to build homes there like there is everywhere else.
I hope the out of state buyers do something with the parking lot about to set up a lawn chair and my fishing pole up we lost more stores and a restaurant hoping the best the ceiling is leaking more and the bathrooms are gross you don't really see security guards at the desk anymore 😔
I drove from Youngstown to this mall in September 2008 because the theatre was the closest to me showing the live cinecast of the final Broadway performance of RENT. Was totally worth the drive. (As I understand it there was some dispute between Sony & Cinemark at the time that kept Tinseltown from showing it, I don't really know the details) .
I just tried to photograph this last week and I got the boot after like two friggin' photos.
That sucks. I’m sorry. My friend got booted out of there like a week after I filmed there last year.
I often feel sad seeing the descent of these malls, but the first one I ever frequented was bulldozed over 30 years ago. So what goes around comes around.
This mall really does look like the embodiment of 1981. I hope whoever buys the mall can make it successful without having to completely renovate it. Enjoyed the video though
Thanks man!! And I agree, hopefully this place will stay intact.
I remember Century 3 mall, also in the Pittsburgh region. I think it is gone. Malls aren't really the future.
Between Grove city PA outlet mall and the Millcreek Mall in Erie so close
I mean even the malls in Pittsburgh aren’t that much farther away from here
It still just sucks to see this mall in this sad shape of state though
The parking lot for this mall was absolutely atrocious when I was here in 2021. Might as well have just been a big dirt patch with how terrible the asphalt was.
I’ll be honest, I drove through wayyyy worse
Yinz need to come check out the Clearview Mall in Butler PA
Just checked it out a Couple weeks ago. Video I’m not coming soon
Lived there for about 5 months. Pretty area.
A mall is only worth the land under it these days.
I wouldn’t say that’s fully true
@@ERA_Productions 9 out 10 times it is.
Living in this area sucks pond water.
