History
Columbiana Centre, developed by Homart Development Company, opened in 1990 with two anchor stores: Belk and Sears.[3] Dillard's was added as the third anchor in 1993, as was a new wing extending diagonally north.[3] In 1995, J. B. White was added as another anchor.[3] In 1998, JB White was acquired by Dillard's and the JB White location in the mall was closed. Belk took over the former JB White space and Parisian came to the mall in the former Belk space.[3] In 2005 Parisian closed and JCPenney took over the former Parisian space.[3] The next major anchor change was brought about by March 2014's closure of Sears.[4] 2015 brought an expanded Belk Men's Store to the former Sears space, adding 50,000 square feet of space for Belk and making it one of Belk's flagship stores.[1]
February 13, 2017 saw the addition of a Dave and Buster's to the front exterior side of the mall, filling the space evacuated by Sears not already filled by the Men's Belk. In March 2018, Forever 21’s Riley Rose cosmetics store opened at the mall.[5]
