Meadowbrook Mall is a regional shopping mall located in Bridgeport, West Virginia, United States. The mall is owned and managed by the Cafaro Company of Youngstown, Ohio. Opened in 1982, it remains one of the largest enclosed malls in north-central West Virginia. As of 2025, the mall's anchor stores include JCPenney, Target, Marshalls, Boscov's, and Cinemark, and The Hive Entertainment Zone.
Original Development
Meadowbrook Mall was developed by the Cafaro Company and opened in late 1982.[1] The original architecture and engineering were completed by the Keeva J. Kekst Company. At the time of its opening, it was one of the earliest fully enclosed malls in north-central West Virginia and quickly became the dominant retail destination for communities along the Interstate 79 corridor from Fairmont to Weston. Early anchor stores included JCPenney, Murphy's Mart, Stone & Thomas, The Bon-Ton, and Montgomery Ward.[2]
Major Redevelopments
The mall underwent multiple renovations as national retail trends shifted. In 1990, Bon Ton closed, and was gutted for Sears and more mall space. In 2008, Marshalls opened in the space formerly occupied by the cinemas, followed by the addition of ULTA Beauty in 2015. In 2023, Marshall's moved to the former Elder Beerman space during the Boscov's construction. The store was partially demolished, and a secondary space was created, usually home to a Spirit Halloween.
After Sears announced its closure in early 2017,[3] the Cafaro Company began major renovations on that wing. In 2023, Boscov's opened a new store in the redeveloped former Sears space, marking the chain's 50th store and its first location in West Virginia.[4]
Current Layout and Anchors
The Meadowbrook Mall contains approximately 849,206 square feet (78,894 m2) of gross leasable area and 109 tenant spaces, classifying it as a super-regional center according to the International Council of Shopping Centers.[5] The mall is single-level for public use, though a secondary service level exists for maintenance and storage.
