Mid Rivers Mall (formerly Westfield Shoppingtown Mid Rivers) is a shopping center in St. Peters, Missouri, just off Interstate 70. The mall opened in 1987[1] and has since grown to be St. Charles County's largest shopping center.[2] Mid Rivers Mall includes over 140 shops and five anchor stores (Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, Dick's Sporting Goods and Dillard's).[1] The mall is owned by CBL & Associates Properties, which acquired the property in 2007 from the Westfield Group.[3]

History

Famous-Barr opened their store in 1981 on the site of the future Mid Rivers Mall. The mall was finished in 1987 with 2 anchor stores, Dillard's and Famous-Barr, as well as a food court; a 6-screen cinema opened in 1988.[4] The 1990 expansion of Mid Rivers Mall included a new anchor store, Sears. Another expansion of Mid Rivers Mall in 1996 added the fourth anchor, JCPenney,[5] which moved from nearby Mark Twain Mall in St. Charles.[6] In 1999, Wehrenberg demolished the mall's 6-screen theater and built a new 14-screen megaplex.[7] Upon the acquisition of The May Department Stores Company by Federated Department Stores, Famous-Barr was rebranded Macy's in 2006.[8] Dick's Sporting Goods opened at the mall between JCPenney and Sears in 2008. In February 2018, the mall began offering relatively inexpensive weekly lease rates so new retail businesses can test use of physical retail space. The initiative drives foot traffic to the mall while potentially bringing in long-term tenants.[9]

In September 2017, the mall owner sued former tenant Max & Erma's, alleging that the franchisee owed over $680,000 in rent, interest, and fees after vacating their nearly 7,000-square-foot (650 m2) mall space in August; its 2011 lease was to expire in January 2022.[10]

In December 2017, a 59-year-old man was attacked and his vehicle carjacked during late Saturday morning hours near the mall's Dillard's store.[11]

In July 2018, it was reported that a 33-year-old man had been charged with invasion of privacy after he was caught attempting to record a woman while she was in a dressing room at the mall's Windsor's Fashions store.[12]

Also in July 2018, 98 T-shirts, valued at nearly $4,000, were stolen from a Mid Rivers Mall department store.[13]
