Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg

Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg (formerly Martinsburg Mall) was a regional shopping mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Completed in 1991, the mall contained more than 50 retailers, including The Bon-Ton (originally Hess's) and Walmart, which was expanded from a discount store to a Supercenter in 1998. Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg was a retail hub for the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The Martinsburg Mall changed its name to Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg effective October 1, 2015.[2] On September 8, 2016 owners announced that the mall would close on November 1, 2016. The mall will be demolished, except for The Bon-Ton (which closed in 2018), JCPenney, and Walmart. JCPenney closed on July 31, 2017. They plan on redeveloping the site for more retail. [3]

Several Businesses have opened in new buildings built onto the former Sears (which closed in 2011) parking lot, which include Firehouse Subs, Panera Bread, and some empty retail spaces.[5] [6] The anchor stores are Walmart, Party City, Hobby Lobby, and Grand Home Furnishings.
