The Waynesboro Outlet Village, later rebranded Waynesboro Village, was an outdoor outlet mall in Waynesboro, Virginia, as one of Waynesboro's first attempts to make the town a shopping destination.

Demolition
The Waynesboro Outlet Village was demolished during August 2006 to make way for a new retail center, with the first new tenants planned to open in the fall of 2007.[2] Existing tenants were required to vacate their spaces by June 19, 2006.[1]
While some buildings in the complex were demolished conventionally, others were burned to the ground by the Waynesboro Fire Department, which conducted training exercises in the buildings. Former Fire chief Charles Scott described the situation as "win-win", as the fire department is able to conduct valuable training, while the new developers are able to save on demolition costs.[3]
Redevelopment
The facility that replaced the Waynesboro Outlet Village is called "Waynesboro Town Center".[1] Waynesboro city officials confirmed in June 2006 that the shopping center would be anchored by Target and Kohl's.[4] Target opened on October 9, 2007 as the first of several new stores.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
