Rolling Acres, Akron, Ohio
Rolling Acres, Akron, Ohio

Rolling Acres is a former shopping district in Akron, Ohio, surrounding the now-demolished Rolling Acres Mall. Planning for the area began in 1960s with Forest City Enterprises, a Cleveland real estate company and the powerful Buchholzer family, whose previous endeavors involved financing much of the Chapel Hill Mall area. Despite warnings by civic leaders and former Mayor Edward O. Erickson that the addition of a third mall in the Akron area would harm downtown department stores, the Rolling Acres area was born with Rolling Acres Mall serving as its anchor. Pulling from a diverse population of blue collar workers in Barberton, Ohio and Kenmore, and inner city neighborhoods such as West Akron and Lane-Wooster, the Rolling Acres shopping district blossomed. At its peak it was the most visited mall in Northeast Ohio. Today, Rolling Acres stands as a skeleton of what it once was, mirroring many other parts of the Midwest that have suffered from stagnant economic conditions, saturated markets, and unprofitable foot traffic. The shopping district is located in the City of Akron proper, and encompasses most of the area. It had a number of large big box retailers including: Handy Andy Home Improvement Center (formerly Forest City) – closed 1996 Ames (formerly Hills & Gold Circle) - closed 2002 Apples Grocery Store- Closed 2000 Pet Supplies Plus – closed 2002 Fretter – defunct 1996 Toys "R" Us – closed 2006 Kids "R" Us – site closed Officemax – closed 2003 Coconuts Music – site closed Marc's (former Children's Palace) – Closed 2004Several of the buildings have been condemned, while other are taking transient uses such as fronts for flea markets, and mattress liquidators. The Target closed in February 2006, with a new store being opened in the western suburb of Wadsworth, Ohio. Toys R’ Us closed as part of a larger consolidation plan by its new owners. The city of Akron no longer views the area as viable for retail. As Rolling Acres got smaller, the nearby Montrose area got larger, and now has many of its former anchors.
