Cafaro Company is a privately held shopping center development and property management firm founded in 1949 by brothers William M. Cafaro and John A. Cafaro. Originally developing grocery-anchored shopping plazas, the company transitioned to regional mall development by the 1960s, opening its first enclosed regional mall in Lima, Ohio in 1965. The firm manages more than 30 million square feet of commercial retail space across more than 50 properties throughout the United States. Cafaro focuses on middle-market, super-regional enclosed malls, with a geographic concentration in the Midwest and Appalachian regions, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Virginia, and Washington. The company maintains vertical integration through in-house management of leasing, marketing, construction, security, and maintenance functions. Following the retirement of Anthony Cafaro Sr. in December 2009, the firm is led by third-generation co-presidents Anthony Cafaro Jr. and William A. Cafaro. The portfolio includes properties such as Eastwood Mall, Millcreek Mall, Ohio Valley Mall, Meadowbrook Mall, Huntington Mall, and Spotsylvania Towne Centre. In October 2025, Cafaro acquired Grand Central Mall in Vienna, West Virginia from Washington Prime Group for $54 million, representing its most recent portfolio expansion. The company has pursued mixed-use redevelopment strategies for several legacy properties while continuing to attract national retail anchors including Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's Backstage, and Marshalls.
