A circa-2008 plan depicts RALEIGH MALL in the final stage of its existence. In a state of decline for several years, it had been bested by CROSSROADS MALL (in 1981) and the aforementioned CRANBERRY CROSSING / BECKLEY GALLERIA (in 2005). By the time of this layout, a great deal of store space in RALEIGH MALL is vacant.
A parting view of the former RALEIGH MALL. Its inline store section was knocked down in July 2011, leaving three anchor boxes intact.

Our third -and final- RALEIGH MALL plan depicts a new & improved (and completely demalled) shopping hub. Anchor structures held over from the old enclosed mall have been given new facades, with two freestanding restaurants, an a dental office, also being built.
