There are so many memories at that mall. They should have left it stand & built WalMaart where the Galleria is now. The Galleria has no character. It was meant to be a fancy high-class mall like in Pittsburgh but that's just not what we need here in Johnstown. They should tear down the Galleria & build a repica of The Richland Mall. Then have someone better than Zamias run it!

GREAT SITE I have alot of great memories from the mall, like all the train rides as a kid , and eating tons of capri pizza. It was my mall as a teenager and I miss it badly. Finally a site dedicated to its memory. I have a 4 foot by 4 foot "Welcome to the richland mall" sign that hung inside the main entrance of the mall, it is 98 percent immaculate. I will take pics and send them.

My parents owned a store named 'Potpourri' in the mall when it first opened. It was kind of a gift/candle/wicker/neat things/head shop. I worked there....geeze that was a long time ago. We were down on the right side caddy corner from the hot dog place ?Der Dog Haus?...it's been so many years. Sorry to discover it's gone. If I ever find any pictures, I will send them to you. Thanks for the memories, AG

Found this website while looking for info on Richie the Pook. I like what I see so far, I just wish pictures of the mall from its heyday in the 70s would surface. My parents would take me and my sister out to eat every Friday night and then we'd go to the mall. I remember being allowed to wander on my own when I was as young as 10 or 11, which is unheard of these days. Some of my favorite Richland Mall memories include going to see Star Wars with my dad at the Duke and Duchess when it first came out - I was 10 and was blown away. I saw lots of movies there as a teenager too, stopping by Time Out to play Centipede or Asteroids before, or getting pizza at Capri afterward. I have fond memories of the Super Chick restaurant too. In 1976, my dad entered my sister and me in a contest at the restaurant, and I won first prize - a week-long trip for four to the Summer Olympics in Montreal! I moved away from Johnstown for work in 1997, so I was spared seeing much of the later decline of the Mall. I'll always remember it fondly from my childhood instead.

When I was a junior in high school. I worked at Cinnabon for awhile. I sure do miss that place. I would look forward working at nights cause I was able to take what wasn't sold home. I remember the Carasell I have pictures somewhere me holding my son when he was only 6 months old. Wow how time flys.

I was born in Johnstown and of course, the Richland Mall was the only mall in the area. I remember going there all the time as a kid. I moved to Florida when the steel mill closed back around 1985. I was 8 1/2 when I moved away so my memories are a little foggy these days. Does anyone have pictures of the sunken atrium? I remember it because it's where you'd get your picture taken with Santa and the Easter Bunny but I don't have any photos of it. I got my ears pierced in that mall for the first time when I was a little girl. I remember drinking Icee's from the Kmart in the mall. I remember a shop - which in my memory is catty-corner from where the sunken atrium was located - which sold the coolest little Sanrio items. I bought my "Little Twin Stars" diary from there and I used to get pencils, stickers and stuff like that. Was it called The Rainbow shop...? My mom worked for awhile at the GNC in there part time. I used to get the Tiger Bars in peanut butter flavor an snack on them when I'd visit her. Anyway, I haven't been back in so long, I never saw the renovation or the demo. I've been in Florida for over twenty years now and one of these days, I want to come back to the area just to look around again. Nostalgia and all that I suppose. Anyway, that's some of my memories.

I really enjoyed this site Nice job and many of the pictures brought back memories. I not only hung out at the mall as a teenager but then I worked there as a security guard. I was the first female security guard (as far as I know which was what my boss told me at the time). I really miss that mall and had many memories of not only hanging out there and then working there and then taking my kids to the train ride and shopping there when they were very young. They are now grown and have children of their own and malls seem to be the place to go to at Christmas time only now.  Thanks for the memories. Life seemed much simplier then.

Seeing this page makes me sad. My first job was at Long John Silvers, then No Name. When I was not working there I was hanging out there...Every weekend. We had so much fun growing up there. So many memories.
