History

The original anchor stores of Golden East Crossing were J. C. Penney, Roses, and Belk. The mall was developed by Cadillac Fairview.[2]

Brody's, the successor to Roses, was sold to Proffitt's in 1998.[3] Best Buy was added in November 2004.[4] The same year, a movie theater operated by Cinema Grill closed.[5]

The mall was owned by General Growth Properties for nine years, then sold to Cadillac Fairview, and again to current owners Hendon Properties in 2005.[6][7]

Proffitt's was closed in 2005.[7] Part of the store became Bed Bath & Beyond that year,[8] while the rest became Ross Dress for Less a year later.[9] Petco was added in 2008, replacing a Books-A-Million bookstore which moved to the former theater space.[10] Best Buy[11] and Sears both closed in 2012. A year later, Dunham's Sports was confirmed to be opening in the vacated Sears.[12] Petco closed on January 24, 2015.[13] Bed Bath & Beyond closed at the mall in 2016, while the same year, Conn's opened in the spaces previously occupied by Petco and Best Buy.[14] Fallas opened in the former Bed Bath & Beyond on July 26, 2018, however it closed not long after.[15]
