Arden Fair is a two-level regional shopping mall located on Arden Way in Sacramento, California, United States. It consists of over 165 tenants, encompassing over 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2) of retail space.[2][3] The mall features the traditional retailers Macy's and JCPenney in addition to featuring the premier specialty retailers Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Apple Store, Banana Republic, Coach, Lululemon Athletica, Lucky Brand, M.A.C. Cosmetics, and White House Black Market.[4] It is operated by the premier development firm Macerich.

History

Arden Fair was originally built in 1957 as a single-level outdoor mall with Sears as the original anchor, despite being physically separated from the rest of the mall.[5] Hale's, the second original anchor, opened four years later in 1961, which was later converted to Weinstock's. By the 1970s, Arden Fair was converted into an indoor mall.[6]

In 1989, a major structural renovation and physical face-lift occurred by Homart Development, which more than doubled the size of the mall. It added a second story, a food court and brought the first Nordstrom department store to Sacramento. The old Sears building was gutted as part of the expansion and Sears was relocated to a new building that finally connected the store to the mall. In 1994, JCPenney opened up as the mall's fourth anchor, replacing a United Artists movie theater that was relocated to Market Square at Arden Fair, an entertainment and retail complex next door to the mall.[5] In 1996, Weinstock's was converted to the present-day Macy's as part of Federated Department Stores' (now Macy's, Inc.) acquisition of Broadway Stores, Inc in 1995.

In early 2004, KCRA-TV, the NBC affiliate in Sacramento, opened "The KCRA 3 Experience", an in-house studio that was located on the second floor of the mall where shoppers got a behind-the-scenes look of how a newscast was put together and a chance to be on TV. Over the years, Walt Gray, Patty Souza, Adrienne Bankert and Eileen Javora broadcast the news every Monday-Friday at Noon.[7] KCRA discontinued the in-house studio and closed it in late 2008, replacing it with a Verizon Wireless phone store.[8]

The early 2020's saw several storied traditional department store retailers update its brick-and-mortar formats after being disrupted to a degree by several digital retailers in recent years and the COVID pandemic.

On May 7, 2020, Nordstrom, which also maintains an additional outpost in nearby Roseville, announced plans to shutter along with several additional locations as a direct result of pulling back because of the COVID-19 crisis.[9]

On January 29, 2021, Sears also announced it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of their traditional brick-and-mortar format. [10][11]

Several additional replacement tenants for each space are each reportedly in the midst of early on discussions.[12][13]
