Operating within the Wilkes Mall in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Yesterday’s provided a recreational space for the local community until the mall’s acquisition by Lowe’s Home Improvement. Lowe’s purchased the Wilkes Mall in 1998, with the remaining ten mall tenants vacating the property by 2002 to facilitate its conversion into corporate headquarters. This timeframe indicates that Yesterday’s ceased operations sometime between 1998 and 2002. While specific details regarding its opening date or the particular array of coin-operated video games and attractions it offered are not readily available, mall arcades during this era typically served as popular entertainment destinations for families and youth, offering a lively indoor environment for gaming. Its presence contributed to the diverse retail and entertainment landscape of the Wilkes Mall during its operational years.
