Lenoir Mall

Who can think of some old stores in the Lenoir Mall back in its prime. I am trying to research it and have come up with several but wondered what you remember. I have some including:
Barrel of Fun
K and K toys
Sound Shop
Belk
Spainhours
Woolworth
Junction
Ducky T's
Regis
Burands
Cato
Fashion Bug
Alpine Inn
What do you remember?

sasolow jewelery ? not sure about spelling ? but bought my high school sweet heart a ring there !!

Yes, I remember Saslows. Thanks.

Musicland, the Music Center, GNC (still there, I think), Gerri's Delite, B. Dalton...all I can remember right now.

Have not been to the mall in a while but is the hot dog place still there. Remember enjoying a dog after work, walked into the mall and that smell would just make it all ok to bad they dint sell beer LOL

there was a cafeteria type restaurant there, but i can't remember the name. there was also regis hairstylists, and merle norman.

and for a short time there was a small chocolate shop owned by the kincaid and etheredge families.

The only thing there now is Cornerstone and GNC. Sad.

mom and pop's was name of family style restaurant for a good while.
shame the mall was let go and is a tax write off now. Like most of this county, it is a "used to be".
stores were too small overall as the trend shifted to valley hills type malls and was in a flood plain.
could have potential as specialty shops, but from what i hear, the absentee owners want a tax write off.

Thom McCann Shoes
Kay Jewelers

The first of the name was Apple________. Wasnt it?

Yes at one point it was the Apple House.

I asked a man why he moved from there, he said,"the rent was too high". Why don't they rent it reasonable and get some people in there.

Greed is a damn shame, aint it

Anthony's Pizza Parlor
Woolworth
Spencers
Charles's
Ollie's
C&H Rauch (Jewelry store)
Belk's

Foot Locker was in there too at one time. Wasn't the hot dog place called Jerri's or something like that? Man that used to be the place to go.

Someone told me that there was a new owner and they were going to do a bunch of improvements. That was a couple of years ago.

I also sadly remember the girl being killed by that
maniac behind the mall. She was about 2-3 years older than me I think.

Her last name was Moody, but I can't remember what her first name was.
