Mariner Business Center (Superior, WI) - 1980s time capsule

The inside of Mariner Business Center has not received any cosmetic updates since it opened as Mariner Mall over 40 years ago. It is still 1980 inside. According to comments from people who used to visit Mariner, the mall was never very healthy. People have said it had several empty storefronts even in the 1980s and nearly 40 empty stores in the 1990s. Management finally did something about that and converted the complex to a business center. Empty tenants that haven't been converted to offices are being rented out for storage. Mariner seems to be doing well despite it looking dead.

Thank you to Vincent Degendorfer for allowing me to use footage of his trip to Mariner when it was still a mall in 2018. Check it out!    • Mariner Mall
