Fort Steuben Mall
Fort Steuben Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located on Mall Drive in Steubenville, Ohio.History
The mall opened in 1974 with original tenants including Sears and Kaufmann's. The Kaufmann's store was the first in the chain to be located in a shopping mall. An original tenant, Zales Jewelers, won a design competition in that chain upon opening.
In 2000, the mall was slightly renovated, while also remodeling the Sears and Kaufmann's stores. Sears closed in 2016, followed by Macy's, which acquired the Kaufmann's chain, in 2017.
JCPenney and Walmart remain as anchor stores. By 2017, the mall was up for foreclosure, even though the mall did not close. A year later, efforts were made by the Jefferson County Port Authority to assist the mall's leasing agent.
