Big Lots had already moved to a new location, and much of the mall was empty.Rowan County bought Salisbury Mall in December 2013 for $3.4 million because of a need for additional office space. The mall was renamed West End Plaza.By September 2014, with other stores in the mall closing, Books-A-Million closed.A 2015 master plan called for moving social services and the health department into the former mall, and the sheriff and probation into their former space. Other possibilities were the library's history and genealogy room, and planning, building inspections and environmental departments. A conference center was also considered. The former J.C. Penney was used for events.As of September 2017, the Board of Elections and Veterans Services had moved into West End Plaza.
