Charleston Town Center is an enclosed shopping mall in downtown Charleston, West Virginia. At its peak it held more than 130 tenants across two levels, with a food court on a partial third level. Its tenant count has since shrunk to a small number of operating stores, and large sections have been converted to office space. Full-service restaurants such as Chili's and Outback Steakhouse have been among its dining options. The mall's last anchor, JCPenney, closed in May 2025. The mall is owned by Hull Property Group and is slated to close for indoor shopping by summer 2027. The official site lists mall hours and a holiday visit with Santa Claus.
