Severna Park Mall
Severna Park Mall was an enclosed shopping mall located in Severna Park, Maryland, on Maryland Route 2 (Ritchie Hwy). Since the demolition of the entire structure in 2000, the site has been occupied by a strip mall known as Severna Park Marketplace featuring Giant Food, Kohl's, Office Depot, A.C. Moore, and several smaller stores.[1]
History
Severna Park Mall opened as a small, local mall in 1975 with Grant City and Giant Food.[2] The Grant City store was short-lived, with Woolco taking its place after one year;[3] after Woolco's closure in 1982, this space was occupied by Caldor.[4] Other stores included Pixie Pizza, Horn and Horn Smorgasbord, Buffy's Yummys, JJ's Records, Dan's Barbershop, Joanne Fabrics, Sidle's Jean Scene, Jason's Pianos, G Briggs, Greene's Jewelers, a Hallmark store, a hair salon, and the restaurant Kona Tiki.
However, as with most smaller regional malls, Severna Park Mall started to decline. Caldor closed in September 1989 after failing to reach a lease agreement with the mall's management, re-opened in October 1991, but closed for good when the entire chain liquidated in 1999. After being mainly an empty mall in the 1990s, Severna Park Mall was largely demolished; only the former Caldor building remained, with Kohl's moving into this building shortly afterward. The rest of the mall was replaced with a strip mall known as Severna Park Marketplace, which featured a new Giant supermarket, as well as several big box tenants.[1][5]
