Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg (formerly Martinsburg Mall) was a regional shopping mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Completed in 1991, the mall contained more than 50 retailers, including The Bon-Ton (originally Hess's) and Walmart, which was expanded from a discount store to a Supercenter in 1998. Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg was a retail hub for the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The Martinsburg Mall changed its name to Foxcroft Towne Center at Martinsburg effective October 1, 2015.^[2] On September 8, 2016 owners announced that the mall would close on November 1, 2016. The mall will be demolished, except for The Bon-Ton (which closed in 2018), JCPenney, and Walmart. JCPenney closed on July 31, 2017. They plan on redeveloping the site for more retail. ^[3]

As of 2019 the former JCPenney is now a Hobby Lobby^[4] and the former Hess's/The Bon-Ton is now Grand Home Furnishings. None of the original mall interior remains except for an empty lot where the middle pavilion and food court once stood. Several Businesses have opened in new buildings built onto the former Sears (which closed in 2011) parking lot, which include Firehouse Subs, Panera Bread, and some empty retail spaces.^[5] ^[6] The anchor stores are Walmart, Party City, Hobby Lobby, and Grand Home Furnishings.
