A Walk Around Lakeforest Mall, Gaithersburg, MD - Dead but not Forgotten
In this video, we walk around Lakeforest Mall, a landmark that has been slowly dying for years. Now, as the last vestiges of retail big farewell, observe a final glance into this giant.
One of the big Malls in the Montgomery County, MD area around 270, Lakeforest Mall survived the closure of White Flint Mall in 2015. Like White Flint, Lake Forest had a Lord and Taylor. Unlike White Flint, Lakeforest barely survived past the closure of it's Lord and Taylor, as the retail store's White Flint location successfully fought off being forced to close along with White Flint Mall and would remain at the location until all Lord and Taylor locations closed in 2019.
"Lakeforest Mall first opened on September 12, 1978. At that time, the mall's anchor stores were JCPenney, Sears, Woodward & Lothrop, and Hecht's. The mall was named in honor of Lake Walker, a man-made lake and park on the property prior. The mall opened with approximately 30-50 stores, with some of the first stores being relocated from the then nearby indoor Village Mall (now an outdoor strip mall called Montgomery Village Center since circa 1991) and absorbed onto the property. The mall was one of the first in the United States to feature an indoor ice skating rink on the lower level, in the "H section", along with being the biggest indoor shopping mall in the county at the time of grand opening. The rink has since been superseded first by a multi-theater movie complex, then by a food court, which now occupies the place."
