Arrowhead Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Muskogee, Oklahoma. It was opened in 1987 and was owned by J. Herzog & Sons, Inc. from 2005 until November 2016 when the mall went into receivership and was put up for sale by Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo bank sold the mall to an investor in 2018 and is currently managed by Property Managers LLC of Fort Worth, Texas.
J. Herzog updated the mall throughout 2014, removing the old play area and adding more seating in the food court, free Wi-Fi, and a Justice clothing store. Sears announced the closure of its Muskogee store in August 2014. Sears closed in November 2014. The United States Postal Service moved into part of the old Sears store location in 2019.
Dillard's closed May 2019 and Stage closed August 2020. On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would close around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. The JCPenney closure left the mall without any anchors.

I used to work at night cleaning, i vacuumed every square Inch of carpet, swept the floors and cleaned the theater.. we used a leaf blower to blow all the trash and loose popcorn down to the bottom. Found money a lot in the seats and floor, unopened Candy boxes. Lot of good people worked there.

@khuntington 7 месяцев назад

do you remember what year(s?) you worked there?

@snake-addiction 7 месяцев назад

@@khuntington unfortunately not, it was for a temp company and my memory fails me often. If i had to guess, it would be between 06 and 09. I remember it was during the winter months, because i hated all the salt that got tracked in on the floors

@squishyiguess 2 года назад

Such a blast from the past. I lived in Muskogee for half of my life and went to Arrowhead with my mom often. Seeing even small things like the Subway, the theater, and the huge pole in the room with the tent ceiling. I live in Arizona now but last summer we took a trip up to visit family, and I got to see the mall from the outside again. Seeing it from the inside like this is a whole different story though, thank you.

I think the big shoot-out inside the mall drove the customers away.

@neneb5232 Год назад

Stage was one of the last stores to go and the lady that worked there told me that most of the stores including stage closed because the mall owner kept going up on each stores rent. So they would rather close their doors than pay high rent prices.

@kituwahband Год назад

@neneb5232 I worked security there in '06 - '07 and high rent was one of the store managers main complaints

I'm from Gore, Oklahoma. My family would sometimes shop there. I love it. It's too bad it closed. It was nice. It was somewhere to go.🤎

@khuntington Месяц назад

i had some friends who lived in gore (we're talking 22 year ago, but yeah) so did the mall actually close then entirely?

@@khuntington I was in Muskogee, a couple of weeks ago. But, I was there to recycle some metal. Afterwards, I stopped at Muskogee's Casino. I don't know the status of the mall. I think 2001 was actually the last time I stepped foot in there.🤎

i've also heard the rent was high. i remember when they put candy crazy in. it went in in the mid 90s at some point. 95? 96? but i remember always going and getting rock candy. it was the best.

@cyndihunter6022 2 года назад

About 15 years ago, my step dad had a pet store in the mall and he ended up having to close down because the rent got too high. I guess new owners took over around that time and raised everyone's rent. Ever since then, the stors have all closed one by one. So sad, it really could have been a great place if done right 😭

@robertbolding4182 2 года назад

I think lt could be turned into a craft and artist gallery and attract people from all over the state. wood artisans, painters, metal crafts, pottery, jewelry, tattoos. wood burnings, watercolors, oil painters, it's endless. the floor space rent would have to start out ridiculously low. until the crafters turn a good profit so it should be a percentage of the take, about 5 percent in fact the sales tax collected should be the payment for the first year. I'm sure the state would do that for the mall's survival. I could manage it all.

@heatheralverson7822 5 месяцев назад

It's just sad. I spent my childhood at this mall, & now the only things there are the Army Recruiting office & they turned SEARS into an extension of the Muskogee post office. The owner/operator must be kicking themselves, because recently they've started trying to hold weekend flea markets in the food court & throughout the walkway areas; yet all the store's doors remain locked & unused. Just sad.

@khuntington 5 месяцев назад

correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt that THE post office? i'm not in muskogee anymore, but i was under the impression the post office actually moved from off okmulgee to the mall.

@heatheralverson7822 5 месяцев назад

@@khuntington you are incorrect. Google "Muskogee Oklahoma post office" & both locations will be in the results, because both locations are still in active use. Location A: 505 N Main St, Muskogee, OK 74401 inside Arrowhead Mall. Location B: 3414 W Okmulgee Ave, Muskogee, OK 74401 inside of Economy Pharmacy West Side. Do you have an email?

@heatheralverson7822 5 месяцев назад

The only things in the mall now are the Army Recruiting Office & SEARS was converted into an extension of the Muskogee Post Office. If you want to catch a movie in Muskogee you'll have to go to Apex Cinema on W. Shawnee Street, or the Roxy still shows historical & cult classic movies sometimes, like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Hell on the Border," & 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' during the Halloween season.

yeah i was telling my wife when we left that that guy looked very familiar, then it hit me that i remembered seeing him all the time in the 90s when i hung out at the mall, snd i was like good for him for still keeping it alive for all this time. that shot really fell into my lap, and i was pretty stoked after the fact that i was able to include him in it. initially i was just going to have my wife walk accross the bridge and so i was setting the camera up and saw him coming so i was like "nevermind, this will be better" 😊😊
