Greenville Mall had a really good Pizza place in the late 90s/early 2000s.
I remember being able to drink under age at the Ruby Tuesday's inside Haywood Mall. Haha
I vaguely remember a Burger King in McAlister Square in the 80s.
Friends and I would hang out at McAllister square when it was about dead. There was only a chinese place, a tobacco shop, and a footlocker.
There was a baseball card store in Greenville Mall in the 90s/ early 2000s. Wrestlers used to come and do autograph signings.

Two Guys Pizza!
I remember Burger King was inside Greenville Mall on the Montgomery Ward side in the 80's along with Chick-Fil-a (no food court then- they were in store spaces) and yes the Greenville Baseball card store next to JBWhite/Dillards.

Yeah maybe it was Greenville Mall. My grandparents lived in Greenville when I was a kid. My grandmother's only hobby was shopping so that's all we did when we'd visit. They moved there from PA in 72 and she worked at the library at Furman so that was right around when I guess Bell Tower Mall was up. I don't remember that one at all.

Not sure how I remember this but there was a York Steakhouse at Haywood when it first opened where Cheesecake Factory is now. It became Ruby Tuesday then Panera and now Cheesecake Factory. Ruby Tuesday had the spot at the food court entrance on the back where FYE is now then moved to the front of the mall. Also S&S Cafeteria in the front lower mall entrance across from what is now Saltwater Kitchen. Much of that space was taken over by the Apple Store.

Some info I found on York Steakhouse. Never ate there as a kid. Someone may remember it.

Sigh.. Look at all the bookstores..



Here's one from 1989

and lower level only from 1981

Zondarvian? That's a new one on me. Was that local? I don't remember ever seeing that anywhere.

Good old Boardwalk and Park place. Used to be near one of the entrances. Bought a bunch of Rifts and Shadowrun stuff there as a kid.

Boardwalk and Park Place, hasn't that been in and out of the mall like 5 times? Or have there been multiple iterations of it?

Chrisitian media. That's why I never heard of it. Hah

Yeah I seem to remember Boardwalk were by the entrance in the early 90s then I think they moved where KB Toys was. Then they finally moved out to that shopping center behind the mall.
