History
The Belk store was originally J.C. Penney until 1987, when JCPenney relocated to a new store and sold the old building to Parisian.[1] Dillard's had two anchors in the mall: one that it acquired from Castner Knott in 1998, and a second which was originally Rogers. Both of these closed in 2011. The former Rogers store was partially demolished and replaced with a Carmike Cinemas movie theater in November 2012, while the former Castner Knott partially became Electronic Express in late 2014 and Bed Bath & Beyond in 2015.[2]
JCPenney announced the closure of all its outlet stores in October 2013.[3] The closure of the Sears store was announced in January 2014.[4]
The vacant Sears & JCPenney buildings were demolished in early 2017.
