Uniontown Mall

Less than stellar mall. Basic stores but a lot of empty spaces. Handful of restaurants here in this location. Not your cleanest mall, parking is basic. I wouldn’t shop here if there was a closer mall to use. Parking lot was clean.

Being from the area, I can tell you that for all of it’s failings as a mall, it is still a cornerstone of social life in this area.
Fayette County has watched its glory days as a coal, steel and manufacturing economic force disappear, and now it is relegated to the service industry, with little of it ‘s former blue collar middle class swagger.
NAFTA and the EPA have done more damage to this area, than any Communist invasion ever envisioned during the cold war.
To clear up a misconception about having a food court, this mall did indeed have one located where the Bön Ton now sits.
There was a clothing store called Stanyan Street that used to play Led Zeppelin where all the stoners and hippies would hang
I didn’t have a clue what Stanyan Street was until I moved to CA and went to the panhandle where Haight Ashbury is.
Sure enough, the original Stanyan Street, filled with stoners and hippies.
Hopefully the Marcellus shale energy boom can bring this place back to a thriving economy again.

One review… from one person… from California.
Now, let’s discuss why this mall is the way it is. Uniontown Mall was built in 1972, much like the malls in Indiana, Johnstown and Altoona. This meant back then that malls were just for shopping, read that as no food court. UM still does not have a food court, but that doesn’t mean much. Yes, I do agree that UM needs an update, but it’s not really needed. Unless there’s a population boom sometime soon in Fayette County.
While in college this was the mall that was closest to were I lived and I frequented it often. If the prior reviewer were there during that period of time, she could definitely say what she said about the mall and really mean it. As for the mall being killed by WalMart opening nearby, not so true, that WalMart was there for years before moving just up the road to a different location. If anything, building of WalMart, Target and the likes nearby probably brought in many more shoppers.
For a mall of it’s size it does have a little bit of everything you need. They have their anchor stores that do well for the area. Of course they have their chain stores such as American Eagle Outfitters, Hot Topic and PacSun. They also have a little bit of local still inside. They do also have some restaurants attached. The Boston Beanery still remains, The Grotto took over the Garfield’s location, a Shogun Japanese Steakhouse, and Rosa Pizza and Subway are inside the mall.
This mall, even though it wasn’t remodeled recently, still looks good. I mean it doesn’t fell like you are walking through the early 1980s at least. If you find the right store that still sits empty you can peer through the front and look in and see how an old American Outfitters use to look like before the went out of business.
Oh, also, it’s a six screen theater, jus’ sayin’.

The most depressing mall I have been to in recent memory. There are a dozen or so shops here and a couple of places to eat, but after visiting this place three times now, it seems that the hair salon, Verizon store, and the JC Penny are the main attractions. Such a shame, considering it’s a mall of reasonable size– in desperate need of revitalization. Word from locals is that this Mall killed the downtown Uniontown shopping district… and now this mall is getting killed by the new Wal-​Mart down the road. Food chain
least they’ve got a 3-​screen movie theater…
