Adrian Mall is an enclosed shopping mall serving Adrian, Michigan. It opened in 1970 and features three anchor stores: Hobby Lobby, Elder-Beerman and Dunham's Sports.

History

Adrian Mall opened on September 3, 1970. At the time, the mall included Sears and F.W. Woolworth Company as its anchor stores,[2] with J. C. Penney opening as the third anchor in April 1971.[3]

In 1985, the mall underwent a $1.5 million renovation,[4] which included the addition of an Elder-Beerman department store.[5]

The mall underwent several ownership changes in the 2000s. General Growth Properties bought it in 2002,[6] CBL & Associates Properties bought it in 2008,[7] and it was sold again to Jones Lang LaSalle in 2010.[8] In December 2014 the Adrian Mall was sold again to Texas-based Tabani Group for an undisclosed amount.[9]

The mall lost several stores in 2009, including a Waldenbooks and one of the last remaining Sam Goody stores.[10] Sears closed in 2012.[11] In 2013, renovations plans were announced which included the conversion of part of the Sears store to a new Hobby Lobby and the expansion of MC Sports' existing store.[12] J. C. Penney also announced the closure of its Adrian Mall store in January 2015.[13] Dunham's Sports took over the former JCPenney wing, which includes an MC Sports store that closed in late 2015. The grand opening of Dunham's Sports was May 20, 2016.
