Two popular Charleston Town Center Mall restaurants closed on April 20, 2024 without any advance notice to employees. The Tidewater Grill and The Chop House have occupied space at the mall for decades. The Tidewater has been at the Court Street entrance to the mall for 39 years and The Chop House has been at the Clendenin Street entrance across from the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center for over two decades.

The garages will be auctioned off, according to a motion expected to be filed in the coming days with Kanawha County Circuit Court. The initial plan for the Capital Sports Center, a proposed $80-million multi-use athletic complex, was to use some upper floors of the Lee Street garage and some other nearby properties.
However, Steve White, chairman of the Capital Sports Center Development Association (CSCDA), said Wednesday at a CSCDA board meeting that the present plan is to build on the site of the former Macy’s retail location at the Town Center mall.
The project to convert the old Leigh Mall into Columbus Place, an outward-facing shopping center, will be finished by December, and new tenants could locate there in early 2024.
