- DuBois Mall - DuBois, Pa. Opened in 1971, this ol' gem was once a shopping destination in the area and thrived. In modern years, this place fell on hard times, became more and more of a dead mall and became subject of a foreclosure. Will the new owners bring the mall back around? Only time will tell.

*_I should stop at this place one of these days since I drive past DuBois a few times a year._*
It's definitely worth the visit. It is such a neat gem. And it's much larger than the video makes it look.
I'm starting to really like the music on these
I used to go here all the time when I was a kid
With the drop ceiling definitely gave me the Dixie square vibe 👍🏼
Yay Wallie!! I'm watching now! :-)
Somethin always happening at the Dubois Mall --it was cool in 92-94, for what it was: Weet Street clothing, Wally's Coffee, Valley Dairy...Ames, Sears,Mont-Ward were all busy
Awesome job 🎊
_AWESOME!_
It used to have tile and brick floors. There were fountains in front of the JCPenny entrance that were close to the Arcade. The shoe store used to be a barnes and noble... so many other changes too. I remember it being so busy back when I was growing up. I was away for 20+ years, so the changes were quite evident when I returned. Now, it's all but dead.
I've been in the DuBios Mall a quite a few times in the past and I haven't been in there for a long time
God, watching this makes me miss living in Dubois again
Awesome video
We're Rolling is closed now. I visited this today for the first time, and wondered what that empty restaurant was.
Other than the back section (where We're Rolling used to be), the rest of the mall had a fair bit of life in it... scattered stores, but plenty of shoppers.
Thank you and the other vlogger for showing me this mall again. I wish it well but 10 years ago it was the ugliest mall I’d ever seen. Some of it still has the livestock barn with skylights look
I clicked so fast my mouse broke. Worth it! :)
LOL jeez! 😄😄
@@WallieB26 I kinda regret it lol
@@deformedmau5, Oopsie, lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Ah, DuBois Mall. Perfect mall for Me and DuBois to hang out at...
Okay, I'll see myself out after that pun...
LMAO
DuBois and my homies.
Along the same line: Did you meet Idaho and her sister Udaho?
Love the videos brother! I do commercial HVAC and visit alot of the malls featured on your channel in my work adventures, including this one. Not sure if you have visited the Pittsburgh mills mall?
Awe man I miss going here. They used to have a great little restaurant in there that closed down about 3 years ago now. Some of the best breakfast around.
Valley Dairy. There is another one in Dubois over by Martin's. Haven't been there in years myself.
9:35 Wings for your pleasure. Malls with Carpet are getting harder to find like that. For what it is, that carpet is looking pretty dang clean!
I used to stay at The Hampton Inn write off by the Sears on 1981 Bee Line Highway
Hello WallieB26, Excellent Video! It’s Kind Of A Time Capsule Of Vintage Original Mall Glory Mixed With The Updated Big Box Retail Strip Center That Has Become So Popular In Today’s Current Climate Of Shopping Centers! Shout Out To Kayla! Take Care & “Stay Awesome” 👍
@7:37 The Mr. Pizza was on the corner there beside what is now GNC. The arcade was down the hallway to the right behind the Mr. Pizza.
What is now "Bradley's Book Outlet" on the corner across from the former Mr. Pizza was one time a sports team apparel store called "That's My Team" in the 90's. I still have an old hat I bought in there as a kid. After "That's My Team" closed an "American Outfitters" opened in that space.
What about the little restaurant that was inside the mall? Is that gone also?
I remember hanging at this mall as a kid I miss the arcade
the arcade was epic! great pizza too right next to it. I use to be dropped off at Moooovies and play the free systems there and then walk to the arcade. Sears also had free game systems to play there as well. Great times, great mall!
Cory Sanchez jean and carlos was the name i think? that place ruled, napolis is pretty similar
The pizza place was Giancarlos.
So weird hope I wasn't there that day lol but thank you for doing a story on my mall!
Believe it or not; this is actually the sister mall to the now long defunct Butler Mall (now Butler Commons) in Butler, PA. Matter of fact, if you look at the original layout of the place, it was almost an exact copy of the Butler Mall (with the exception both Montgomery Ward and Murphy's Mart being on opposite ends−as well as the multiple additions that were built thru-out the years, the first being-I believe JCPenney and that LONG hallway that leads up to it [I'd like to say probably dates to about 1981 I think?]-and the latest being the former Sears from circa 1989. With the part that looks like a smaller "single-story version" of the York and Johnstown Galleria...) I do believe Zamais also had a hand in developing this mall as well.
Thank you for sharing Wallie.
I love DuBois mall. My mom worked at Arby's in the 90's but now it's closed because the owner died. I didn't know DuBois Bilo was a JoAnn Fabric. I ate at Mr Pizza in 2000 with my cousins and after the pizza, we played in the tiny arcade. I can't believe they put in carpet where Big Lots, Ross, Bath and Body Works and Pet Place are. That wasn't there in 2016 when I last went with my mom and aunt. The Baravian ( sorry, I don't know how it's spelled) Pretzels were so good, sad that I saw it closed on another video. Did DuBois mall have two arcades? Because I only remember playing in the one that's in the JC Penny wing. How many restrooms does DuBois mall have? I only saw ones in JC Penny wing and in Arby's. I've got to go to the Spirit Halloween wing more often, just not inside the store. I remember once when Big Lots was Ames, there was a bird across Pet Place and I loved talking to him and he talked to me too, so cool. I always wondered what happened to that beautiful bird. I also remember getting a balloon from the Coldwell Bank and seeing another balloon stuck in the ceiling, lol 😂😂😂😂😂. At Ames, I got a Potty Training Kelly doll and I loved her and her accessories and outfit but her little outfit was hard to put back on after taking it off 😢. Overall a very good mall to go to 😃.
This is my favorite video.
So probably more than a decade ago me and my mom were driving back from Rhode Island to Michigan were we lived. And we got a flat tire in Dubois on the way home. Anyway the Sears fixed my mom's tire, but we spent like 2 hours walking around this mall. Good memories.
I was there today. The mall is basically on life support.
This is like the Ridgemar mall. A dead mail but a Beautiful mall.
@9:55 the oldest part of the mall you're walking though (within this 2019 year) they put down carpet over the old brown tile flooring. It's shame. I'm not a fan of the carpet, and it wasn't really put in well. You can feel how it's uneven to walk on.
Go watch Ace's old video's and you'll see what I mean. The tile was starting to crack up in spots, so they did have to do something about the floor. I guess carpet was probably the cheapest best way they could do something about fixing it?
Everytime I walk in that mall I just about die bc the carpet is so uneven
They tore up the tile and the floor was down to concrete substrate. They carpeted over that. Very poorly done.
@2:38 the left side of that building use to be a video rental store with a number of different names. Video Update and Movie Gallery was the latest before it went out.
And many years before that the whole building use to be a grocery store pre Jo-Ann Fabrics
all of the small businesses at the mall are being driven out because the owner of the mall keeps jacking up the rent prices, it’s very upsetting. there is really nothing you can do for fun in dubois anymore.
Wasn't this a charming little mall? Yeah, it is struggling and dying might not be too strong a word, but the community spirit is strong here. There were several locals just hanging around, talking to shopkeepers when we were there. In a way it kinda reminds me of the local spirit you see at Laurel Mall in Connellsville, but not as far along the path to Flea Market status.
Thanks again for the shoutout in your video! It's fun egging each other on to get these malls covered. Great video Wallie!
Poor Arby's... 5:35
Old navy and Dunham's used to be Ames. Bilo was not at the mall. It was on the other side of the road where the walmart plaza is. My family used to have a time share at treasure lake up the road. Also at the walmart plaza across the road was a Kmart. There was a Montgomery wards there. Last time I was there was back in 1992. It was a cool mall. Once again you brought back childhood memories.
This isn't correct. Ross and Dunham's was the Montgomery Wards. Big Lots was the Ames (and before that Murphy Mart.)
Bilo/riverside was where giant eagle is now
There was a bilo where Aldi is today I remember the roller skating staff when you forget something? I was really young it was early 1990s 😊
@@emmamatthews3029 I remember this too there was a restaurant in the bilo with awesome food!
I live near there if you have questions. There was a few stores you never mentioned.
I been there one time
Oh no...one of the “n’s” in JC Penney is burned out! 😱. There used to be a BiLo in my town for many years (I almost got a job there). I miss it!
Perfect fit for JCP. They're not quite Sears/Kmart, but not hitting on all cylinders.
I remember that, we did have a Bilo, before they changed it to Giant Eagle
Hope this mall doesn’t close Down
Come to Harrisburg and film the Colonal Park Mall and Harrisburg Mall. Formally Harrisburg East Mall
We also have the Capital City Mall
@8:50 That Shoe Dept space is completely remodeled and way different from the 90's, but there use to be an Eckard drug store in that area.
The next space down that is now "Justice" use to be "Walden Books."
The next space down that is now covered over with that mural use to be the "Bavarian Pretzel"
@DouglasDiggsInserts, why did Baravian Pretzels close? I ate from there once in 2016 and the pretzel bites were so good and so was my blue raspberry slush puppy.
@@shainahullihen1159 I'm not sure exactly? Wish I could answer your question.
@@DouglasMastersF16, okay, thank you.
Been here lots it's I. My hometown
I remember the hay day of this mall it was a great trip to the mall.
I remember the stupid jingle on radio
"The Dubois Mall there's always something happening at the Dubois mall! There always something happening!"
I even remember going to electric Ave in Montgomery ward! Now some sowhere in shoe department (Dunham sport) 😅 and ames and buying my first computer at sears! And eating at Mister Pizza! Now I'm just sad when I walk into that mall!
Wow that is sad Arby's Closed their restaurant It was good clean and the people working there were nice. Too sad it closed . Wow the FYE closed Bon Worth. I got my Cat Link at Pet place 10 years ago, This pet store is excellent to deal with as all the pets come with paperwork and all shots were included. I would buy another pet from Pet place.
@chrislemaster2695, my mom worked at the Arby's in the 90's when I was little. I loved it when she would bring home some turnovers, I loved the apple and cherry as those were the only two flavors at the time. I don't remember seeing the chocolate flavor. But, yes, the workers were really nice and the food was excellent, especially from the kids meals. I also loved drinking their chocolate milk that was in a carton. I was sad when it closed. Once, I got sick from there ( stomach flu), not a good thing in the car after lunch and I threw up on my Cabbage Patch doll in my car seat 😢. And, there were these pickle buckets and my mom brought one home so I could put my Barbies in it, and it made my dolls have the pickle scent, lol, 😂. I loved coming to this mall as a child in the 90's 😃.
@9:43 I know you'll appreciate this Wallie. Where that old guy is sitting beside the bathrooms use to be a NASCAR collectibles shop in the 90's. I use to go in there all the time. I won a gift prize there for guessing the drawing on Daytona 500 winner the one year. I picked out a Bill Elliott #11 signed plaque and a Bill Elliott #11 Budweiser red wind breaker style jacket. I still have both of them. The jacket is too small to wear anymore, but it's still cool to have.
@7:17 straight ahead in the middle of the shot, before this was all remodeled that portion of what is now McNulty's Gifts use to be where the Payless Shoe Store was. That McNulty's space use to be divided into more than 1 space.
This place looks amazing. The old school look and feel but not to dated. The JcPenney wood panel sign is great. The exposed beams and HVAC is ok but at least it isn't thru the entire mall.
u should go back. a lot of places is not around any more from the last time you took this video.
I plan on doing an update in the next month or so.
So what’s up with the blank thumbnails? Is it just me or are they not showing.
I have no idea what's been going on. Apparently a few people have had this problem. I dont know if there is a glitch or not. I'm definitely making thumbnails for each video.
Great video! Could u link the music from waterfront dining? I couldn't find it
The Waterfront Dining song isnt on TH-cam yet as it is that new. So new that it was only released on November 29th. I follow them on Bandcamp. That's where you can find all of their work. You can even purchase their albums on there for as little as $1 and be able to download them.
@@WallieB26 Oh ok! That's great! Thanks so much!
@@ZeeMann_Retail no problem!
A former Zamias property.
Now Dunham's is near Dollar Tree.
I wanted to record and post a video through Facebook Live once, but there weren't enough bars on my phone.
You call them malls we call them shopping centres
Canadian?
Damn I wanted the comment first but I was fourth 😂😂
Maybe a few more Keystone light I'll get lucky next time and be first too comment 😄😄
It’s so liminal
The Sound Of Wind & Rain At A Dead Mall.......Poetic
Nice Soundtrack Too
Mastercuts Just Announced They Closed At The End Of Buisness 12/30{Today Is 1/1/2020}
Used To Be A Good Hangout Back In The 90's
Wall To Wall Sound, Then Fye, A Legit Arcade, Mister Pizza etc ect.
And Why Are They Installing Indoor Outdoor Carpet In This Place
Odor, Allergies, Dirt, Stains......I Don't Get It. It's Too Bad. Good Video
It looks so sad
Hey Wally when u come to the ft worth area email me I can give you the address of two Partially abandoned kmarts closed in 2003 after the first bankruptcy.
@@danielknepper6884 yes he said it was his girlfriend childhood store. The two kmarts Location I talking about one in azle it Partially occupied by beels the other in haltom city it Partially occupied by Planet fitness.
I think the white settlement Kmart is now A Academy sports.
Good place to take a dump. Clean bathrooms and no one there to bother you while you grunt one out.
Mr. Tool? Sounds like a porno gone wrong.
LMAO
They sold tools and knives etc nothing sick minded like yours!😅
