WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. — Century III Mall is a ghost town.
Anchor stores JCPenney and Dick's Sporting Goods are the only stores that remain open after the mall abruptly closed because it was recently deemed unsafe.
“We lost everything.” That’s what the owner of Century III Nails said after his business had to close after the mall shut down recently. The few remaining mall tenants just received vacate notices. The closure does not affect the mall’s anchor stores, @jcpenney and @DICKS.

The owner of one of the few remaining tenants told Channel 11’s Erin Clarke he just got a vacate notice.
He said because this all happened so suddenly, he had no time to find a place to relocate and has no immediate plans to relocate.

However, that isn't the case for a beloved comic book store.
Through the closed doors of the darkened mall, we spotted signs informing shoppers that New Dimension Comics is moving to the Waterfront.
