History
[edit]General Growth Properties built Mesa Mall in 1980. The original anchor stores were JCPenney, Sears, and Target.[1]
Mesa Mall was acquired by Macerich in 1997 in a joint venture purchase of 12 regional malls owned by the International Business Machine Corp.'s pension fund. The price was $974.5 million, including the assumption of $485 million of debt. Sales per square foot for the malls were heading for over $260 for 1997 with an occupancy at about 89%.[2]
The mall was previously anchored by a Mervyn's which closed when the chain folded in 2008, it was replaced by Cabela's in 2010. The mall's sixth anchor store is HomeGoods, which was formerly Sports Authority.[3]
On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Herberger's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[4]
On August 22, 2018, Sears announced that they would also be closing as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. The store closed in November 2018.[5]
On February 20, 2019, it was announced that the former Sears will be demolished for a Dillard's.[6] It opened on October 6, 2021.[7]
On January 28, 2021, it was announced that Dick's Sporting Goods will open up in the former Herberger's.[8] The store opened on August 27, 2021.[9]
