Country Club Mall is a shopping mall located in La Vale, Maryland, a suburb of Cumberland, Maryland in Allegany County, Maryland. The mall has 60 retail units, as well as 7 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 Country Club Mall 8 Cinemas, the largest movie theatre in Allegany County. The mall is managed by Gumberg Asset Management Corp.
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. The 64-acre (260,000 m2) property is a portion of a larger 192-acre (0.78 km2) parcel. Before 1979, most of the 192-acre (0.78 km2) parcel, including portions of the 64-acre (260,000 m2) subject property, was used for strip mining and a golf course. The strip mine was filled in 1979, and the shopping center was built in 1981. When the mall opened, it contained a Kmart, JCPenney and Bon-Ton. Sears opened about a year later, and Kmart closed in 2002 and was replaced by a Walmart Supercenter in 2004. By September 2004, the mall was 527,000 square feet (49,000 m2) in size. As of May 2013, the mall is now 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2).
The owner of the mall is Andrew D. Gumberg of Gumberg Asset Management Corp, a Pittsburgh real estate company. The Corporation, at the time called J. J. Gumberg Properties', purchased the Country Club Mall for $32.4 million in January 1999. Brad Kotz of KLNB Inc. represented the seller, Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, in the sale to J. J. Gumberg.
The Corp. currently owns properties across the east coast in Florida (5), Maryland (1), Ohio (1), and Pennsylvania (20). Country Club Mall is the only property currently owned in Maryland. "In total, Gumberg Asset Management Corp. has been involved with over 600 properties encompassing over 80,000,000 square feet of retail space in 41 states including over 15,000,000 square feet of regional and super regional malls across the country. Throughout the years, the company’s operational expertise, enduring industry relationships, talented staff and innovation have resulted in over 4 billion dollars of enhanced property value."
