Hometown Columbia Mall has new outlook

BUCKHORN -- Columbia Mall is proud to be celebrating 25 years of business. Although Columbia Mall has had its ups and downs over the past 25 years, it is still standing strong and proud to be serving the community. The mall has evolved throughout its 25 years of business. What started as a once-booming full-retail shopping center has turned into a shopping center that not only has retail and food but is also the home to several entertainment-style businesses. From retail and food to a dance studio, a child's-size play town, to bounce house fun -- the new Columbia Mall has it all. After an ownership and management change in April of 2013, this local mall has changed into something new. The new Columbia Mall has all of the best qualities it has always had, only now with a twist. The new management is excited to turn this mall into something new and exciting right in your backyard. Adding three new businesses in the past two months is just the beginning of what is to come for the new Columbia Mall. Subway, Bloom Bounce and Purple Hippo Tees breathe new life into this mall. In addition, Columbia Mall is still home to four great anchor stores --BonTon, Sears, JC Penney's and Dunham's Sports -- along with over 20 other retail shops. Columbia Mall is the only enclosed shopping center in Columbia County. The mall is proud to serve Columbia and its surrounding counties. Columbia Mall is a clean, friendly shopping center with something to offer everyone. Not only does it provide a convenient and friendly shopping environment, but it also holds special events and entertainment year round. Many people gather at Columbia mall to enjoy the Night of Giving, Summer Theater performances, the Santa Arrival show, sidewalk sales, blood drives, sports collectible shows and so much more.
