History
On February 27, 1973, Northland Mall officially opened to the public.[1]
Dunham's Sports would open on October 24, 2014 as a new anchor store.[2] Just eight months later, a tornado caused wall and roof damage to the store. Shoppers and employees were inside the building at the time of the storm, but no injuries were reported.[3] The store would eventually reopen a year later on August 7, 2016.[4]
In late 2016, Planet Fitness opened at the mall. It replaced the Pet Supplies Plus which closed in June 2014.[5]
On March 17, 2017, JCPenney announced the Northland Mall location's closure, along with 137 others.[6] The Bon-Ton went bankrupt the following year.[7]
