Mall-facing doors for Church United in the food court area of Staunton Mall. This was the mall entrance for the Sears outlet store as well as Goody's.

When this space was a Gold's Gym, the entrance was retained in the same form as it was when it was Goody's, using glass partitions. It was clear that Gold's Gym did not actually want to use the mall entrance, but was requiired to keep it open for fire code compliance. Thus the gate was left partially open to maintain compliance, with a sign posted essentially telling people not to come into the facility if they are not members. Considering that Gold's had spent a lot of money building out the space, I'm surprised that they didn't convert the former Goody's mall entrance into a simple fire exit door for Gold's.
