History
editThe mall was Nashville's second enclosed shopping area, originally opening on October 27, 1967, after Harding Mall opened two years before.[2] Original tenants included Penneys, Woolco and Harveys. Woolco closed in 1983,[3] although Burlington Coat Factory would open in the former space that November.[4] JCPenney closed in January 1986, furthering a slow decline for 100 Oaks,[5] and the mall was purchased by Belz Enterprises later in the year. In September 1991, Belz closed 100 Oaks' interior mall space, allowing tenants with outside entrances to stay open. Morrison's Cafeteria closed its 100 Oaks location a month later due to declining business and mall tenancy.
Belz Enterprises re-developed the center between 1995 and 1996 as an outlet mall, introducing big-box stores such as Michaels, Media Play, and TJ Maxx.[1] Following an extensive renovation in 2008, the bottom floor of the mall remains open for retail, with major tenants including hhgregg (now defunct),[6] Kirkland's,[7] Electronic Express,[8] and PetSmart.[9] The upper floor and office building are now used for medical clinics and administrative offices operated by Vanderbilt University Medical Center.[10][11] Tennessee's largest movie theater, the Regal Cinemas Hollywood 27, is located next to the mall.
Legacy
editThe mall in 2001 was used as a setting in the music video for country singer Alecia Elliott's "You Wanna What?"
