Cloverleaf Mall: Chesterfield, Va.
The Cloveleaf Mall opened in 1972 with 40 shops anchored by J.C. Penney and Sears. The mall was a popular hangout for families in the ’70s and ’80s, but according to the Chesterfield Observer, “That all changed in the 1990s. Cloverleaf’s best customers, women, began staying away from the mall, fearful of the youth who were beginning to congregate there. People started seeing kids with huge baggy pants and chains hanging off their belts, and people were intimidated, and they would say there were gangs.” Stores stopped renewing their leases and in 2007 it closed permanently.

Crestwood Mall opened in 1956 and stayed open for more than 55 years. At one point, it had over 90 stores and 4 anchor stores. According to St. Louis Today, “Like many longtime indoor malls across the country, it is changing because of age, location, new ways of shopping, and increased competition from newer shopping centers and the Internet.” The mall was also inconvenient to get to because it wasn’t close to an interstate exit. In 2013, the mall was put up for sale, and if sold, will most likely be razed.
