History

edit

Eastview Mall was built in 1971. Original tenants were Sibley's and Sears.[2] An expansion a year later added McCurdy's.[3] It was expanded in 1995 with the addition of a wing anchored by Lord & Taylor and JCPenney, and then expanded once more at the main entrance in 2003.[4] In November 2011, it was announced that department store retailer The Bon-Ton would shutter its location.[5] It was later announced that upscale department store retailer Von Maur would be building a 140,000 square foot outpost in its place.[6]

A PacSun at the mall opened in 1998 and closed in 2012.

In 2017, a Tesla supercharging station was added in the mall parking lot. [citation needed]

In August, 2018, it was announced the Sears in this location would close as part of an ongoing plan to phase out its brick-and-mortar stores.[7] Plans were announced to develop Dick's House of Sport a new concept by Dick's Sporting Goods. Plans for a skating rink were later announced to be attached to the store.[8][9]

In August 2020, Lord & Taylor announced that it would close all of its retail stores, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] Wilmorite, the mall development firm, proposed that the previous Lord & Taylor outpost be reconstructed for an unnamed "environmentally friendly home goods and clothing retailer," as well as a family owned grocery.[11]
