A physical layout of the circa-'74 GREEN MOUNTAIN MALL. Some of its original stores proved to be short-lived. The A & P grocery on the north end lasted little more than 1 year; Grant's store was barely in business for 2.
Zayre was in operation, on the south end of the mall, for nearly 14 years. However, the store was shuttered in the late 1980s. It was replaced by a Rich's discount mart, which lasted for 5 years. The Ames seen here was in business for 5 years, as well.
