I only went in the Beloit mall once, maybe 10 years ago. It was probably 80% vacant but quite full of people including a whole group of kids who were stealing all the benches and carrying them out the front doors!

@BK31, i too miss the iconic Kohls stores of the Milwaukee Metro area. I wish I could locate one of those old Kohls signs (before the Kohls II renovation, of course) and start my own version of the Las Vegas Neon Museum. So much has been lost of postwar retail history, in such a short time, it’s baffling.

The beloit mall now hosts a “new-age” learning center for highschool students and has recently opened its doors to the growing number of adults seeking education through Blackhawk Technical college. I have always wanted the “mall” to go to good use. Offering Beloit residence technical education “right around the corner”, is a great innovation to our once very popular after school hang-out.

I remember going to the arcade as a kid after school. KB Toy store was where I bought my 1st he-man. Lots of fun memories there.

The abandoned parts of the Beloit Mall should be re-opened with stores benefiting the community as a whole. I bet many people liked the Beloit Mall despite it’s unsafe reputation.
I liked this place as a kid and I’d like to see it go to something useful again.

You’re onto something there, Caldor. I’ve always found it fun to look at photos (or TV shows or movies) from

A&P closed some Kohl’s Foods locations, while others were acquired by Copps Food Center or Pick ‘n Save.

Just a clarification, Kohl’s grocery stores had been under separate ownership from Kohl’s department stores since 1983. A&P then closed the grocery stores in 2003.
