The Highlands is a massive open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment complex in Triadelphia, West Virginia, 7 miles east of the city of Wheeling. It opened in August 2004 with the only Cabela's within a 5-hour distance.[1] It would explode in growth soon after and feature a J.C. Penney, Kohl's, Target and Walmart as anchor tenants. It also contains over 75 shops, restaurants, services, and attractions such as Bath & Body Works, Books-A-Million, dressbarn, Justice, Lane Bryant, Old Navy, rue21, and The Shoe Dept. With over 1 million square feet of retail space, it is the largest shopping complex in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia.
The mall is owned and operated by its developer, the Ohio County Development Authority. It is located at Cabela Drive (Exit 10) off Interstate 70.
Current plans are to develop the Highlands into a destination location for the tri-state region, with a multiplex theater (now open) as well as a waterpark and hotel and an indoor/outdoor theme park called Wild Escape.[2][3]
