History
[edit]David Hocker and Richard E. Jacobs group developed the mall in 1980 located in Kentucky but largely serving Williamson, West Virginia. Original tenants included Kroger/SuperX Drugstore, Kmart, and R. H. Hobbs department store.[3] Dawahares was also an anchor store. By 1983, R. H. Hobbs had closed and been converted to Watson's,[4] which in turn was sold to Peebles in 1998. The Kmart, later the site of Magic Mart, closed in 2002.[5] Dawahares is now Shoe Show.
Magic Mart announced that it would close the South Side Mall store in mid-2016.[6]
On March 3, 2020, Peebles was converted into Gordmans,[7] which in turn was closed in July 2020, following the filings of bankruptcy from the company.[8]
