Washington Crown Center is the most lively dead mall that I have ever seen! As of March 2025, this…read moreindoor mall contains only about 27 permanent businesses and many vacant storefronts, but during my visit on a Saturday, this mall was full of people! The permanent businesses include mostly small, local stores and only some national businesses such as Kay Jewelers, Marshalls, and Rural King. Many small vendors had set up tables to sell crafts, foods, and other homemade items. This mall does NOT contain enough stores for me to purchase everything that I need and want, but I still enjoyed walking around this mall, people-watching, and buying some goods. The parking lot had A LOT of pot holes and much trash. With all of the other customers' vehicles, I had to drive around for several minutes to find a spot.

I used to frequent this mall when I was in college, but, without giving away my age, that was years…read moreand years ago. As one other reviewer put it, this is a dying mall. To the point where it's more of a walking track than it is a mall. Years ago this was the place to be in the Washington area. Filled to the brim with stores that were desirable. I think what was a downfall of this place was a combination of a few things that happened in the area. The first was the failed shopping complex in South Strabane. Before its demise, it drew customers away. The next thing that caused decline would be the opening of the Tanger Outlets nearby. That pulled customers from here that had long standing stores that opened up in the outlet mall. Then the one of the worst things that could happen was that anchor stores started to fall. Gander Mountain closed up, followed by Macy's, then out went Bon-Ton and finally Sears just closed up last year. So yeah, this place has suffered many blows as of recent. What counts for an anchor store here now are the likes of Marshalls and Ross Dress For Less. I suppose you can say that the movie theater is an anchor and maybe whatever Rural King is. But as for the stores in between. They have become more and more of the mom and pop variety. It's better than a dead mall. They are trying. The one thing that surprised me was the food court. It actually is thriving. I don't think there was one empty spot there and it was a good variety. The building still looks the same from the last time it was renovated. With the upkeep they have been doing, this building has held up. It's actually kind of nice and feels vibrant. I hope that in the future this place rebounds. Especially with the proximity to the minor league ballpark nearby. There should be more around to do.

Strabane Square is a decent-looking strip mall…read more Currently, Strabane Square contains the following stores: Lowe's Home Improvement, Kohl's department store, Target department store, Giant Eagle grocery store, Dick's Sporting Goods, Michaels (craft store), Dollar Tree, Office Max, PetSmart, AT&T, GNC (supplement store), Ulta (cosmetics store), Bath and Body Works, Mattress Firm, and Pier 1 Imports (furniture and decor). Several other businesses provide services for hair, nails, gasoline, and banking. Current restaurants include TGI Fridays, GetGo Cafe and Market, Starbucks, and Texas Roadhouse. I like some of these businesses and shopped at them. I thought that the parking lot had enough spaces for customers' vehicles and that the area was safe and clean.

I have not done much shopping here, but I feel interested in eating at many of the restaurants.

Northgate Plaza is a small strip mall that I recommend mostly for people who live in Washington,…read morePA. It is located very close to other shopping centers that I rate more highly for out-of-towners. Current businesses here include Gabe's (off-price department store), Tractor Supply Company, Oil and Gas Safety Supply, Y&Z Nail Spa, MedExpress Urgent Care, CosmoProf (professional salon products), Keller Williams Realty, Katsur Dental, Comcast, Pool City, First Federal Bank, Outback Steakhouse, and Taco Bell. A couple of storefronts are vacant and are being advertised for rent. I am giving this shopping center a neutral 3-star rating because I am interested in being a customer of only a couple of the businesses, the Gabe's and the Outback Steakhouse. During my recent visit, I easily found a parking space for my vehicle.

Oak Spring Center is a small strip mall…read more Currently, it has the following businesses: Big Lots store, Domino's Pizza, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Hollywood Tans, Rent-a-Center, hair salon, and technical schools. During my visit, a few storefronts were vacant and were available for rent to retail and restaurant businesses. As you can see, this shopping center does not offer the best selection of clothing, accessories, or groceries. The parking lot was free and had enough spaces for customers.

The Shoppes at Quail Acres is a *small* shopping center that is located on a historic site…read more The property traces its name back to 1837, when William McAlpine Quail built the estate with a mansion, carriage house, barn, and several other buildings. Many of these buildings have been restored and converted into shops. The shopping center contains Pig and Fire House of Barbecue restaurant and about 11 specialty local businesses, including a tattoo parlor, nail salon, barber, hair salon, juicery, a K-9 trainer, and more. In the past couple of years, I have eaten lunches at Pig and Fire House of Barbeque and gotten a snack at Desire to Be Well Juicery. I recommend both of these businesses for their excellent foods, drinks, and service. The buildings look lovely, although I was told that one building lacked adequate insulation for the winter and summer. I deducted one star because I cannot shop for all necessities here.

The Streets of Cranberry is a strip mall that looks more upscale than most other strip malls…read more Current restaurants include First Watch, Houlihan's, Aladdin's, Firehouse Subs, Condado Tacos, Clean Eatz, and Maxine's Coffee. Customers may purchase foods also from Omaha Steaks and Honey Baked Ham. Current clothing stores include Old Navy, Soma, Chico's, White House Black Market, Talbot's, Jos A. Bank, Steel City, and Rally House. I do not shop at these clothing stores, but they seem to be popular with other customers. This mall also contains several local home-improvement businesses that can be useful to homeowners (e.g., handyman, heating and cooling, Bath Fitter, appliance repair, cabinets, and grout repair). A few businesses offer recreational activities for physical fitness, including a swim school, trampoline park, and indoor cycling. Many other businesses include a Verizon, salon and spa, UPS, jewelry store, candle store, etcetera. This mall does not have a large grocery store, but other nearby malls do.

They have retail stores such as J Jill, Old Navy, Anne Taylor Loft, Talbots, Sheila's Home, Chico's, Hallmark and several more. There is plenty of lot parking & sidewalks joining all stores. They recently refurbished their patio area and put in a fire pit and outdoor stage for live music. August 28-30 they had several outdoor family friendly events. They had some special activities for kids during the morning & early afternoon. They had a few food trucks. From 4-5pm Max Schang's Trio of Blues played on the stage. Seating was socially distanced & patrons were asked to wear masks. Public restrooms available with extra hand sanitizer stations. Worth stopping in to shop & dine if you're in the area.

Pittsburgh does not have as many upscale malls as do larger cities, and I think that Ross Park Mall…read moreis the fanciest mall that we have. This indoor mall has two floors and over 150 stores. The anchor stores are Nordstrom, Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Luxury/designer stores include Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Kate Spade, and Tory Burch. The mall also has many lower-priced clothing stores, including American Eagle, Banana Republic, Buckle, Chico's, Express, GAP, H&M, Hollister, J.Crew, J.Jill, Levi's, LOFT, Madewell, PacSun, Victoria's Secret, White House Black Market, and Zumiez.

Several other stores sell shoes and accessories, such as Coach, Foot Locker, Kay Jewelers, Lens Crafters, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, Swarovski, Tumi, VisionWorks, and Warby Parker. The mall also has electronics stores such as Apple and phone stores. Stores for home goods include Crate and Barrel, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), Tempur-Pedic, and Williams-Sonoma. Current restaurants are Auntie Anne's, Cheesecake Factory, Plaza Azteca, Nordstrom Ruscello, several casual restaurants in the food court, etcetera.
