TRISTATE, MARELAND
The Tristate Mall opened in 1999 and was the replacement of the former Downtown Tristate Mall for a new Ames Department Store, the mall was built on the land of the former Tristate City Middle School. The Tristate Mall was recently purchased by Mills Corporation as the Tristate Land Bank recently put up the Tristate Mall for sale. Tristate Mall has been declining since 2018 due to increase amounts of crime. Mills Corporation plans on demolishing the Tristate Mall and replace it with a brand new bigger mall complex named The Galleria at Tristate Mills. The mall plans to be 1,500,000 square feet with six new anchor spaces, 150 store spaces and be a two-level mall. Plans are hopefully to be completed by Late 2023 or Early 2024, possibly even earlier.
