Country Club Mall is a shopping mall located in La Vale, Maryland, a suburb of Cumberland, Maryland in Allegany County, Maryland. The mall has 47 retail units, as well as vendor stands on the main concourse. The largest retailers in the mall are Wal-Mart, the Bon-Ton, Sears, and JCPenney. Also located in the Country Club Mall is the AMC Theatres 6, the largest movie theatre in Allegany County. Country Club also houses many restaurants, such as Subway and Chick-fil-A. The mall is managed by JJ Gumberg Co., of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[2]

History

The mall was built after the state of Maryland spent $12 million on a road that facilitated the region's growth. This is believed to have led to the closings of smaller stores in Cumberland[3]. It was one of two major shopping centers built in the region during the 1960s along the I-68 corridor[4].

In addition, the mall offers a diverse selection of specialty retailers and entertainment includes an AMC multi-screen theater, an array of food merchants, an optometrist and several styling salons.

As of the late 1990s, locals bid a tearful farewell to 'The Dream Machine', where grandmothers took their grandchildren to play. In March of 1999, Lend Lease Real Estate Investments of Atlanta sold the property to LaVale Associates of Pittsburgh for an undisclosed purchase price.<ref name='Lend Lease sells four malls'> </ref>
