History

The mall was Nashville's second enclosed shopping area, originally opening in 1968, after Harding Mall opened the year before.[2] Original tenants included JCPenney, Woolco and Harveys. It closed in 1983,[3] although Burlington Coat Factory opened in the former Woolco in 1985.[4] The mall fully reopened in 1989 but began declining again soon afterward.[5] Belz Enterprises re-developed the center in 1995 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.
