The original anchors of Piedmont Mall were J. C. Penney, Hills, Belk-Leggett, and Globman's, [1] which closed in 1990 [3] and was later an auxiliary store for Belk. Sears was later added as a fifth anchor. General Growth Properties bought the mall in 1995. [4]

The Hills store was sold to Ames and closed in 2001. [5] In November 2005, the former Hills/Ames space became the first Boscov's store in Virginia, [6] but it closed only three years later.

Hull Storey Gibson bought the mall in 2012 after General Growth filed for bankruptcy. [7] Under Hull Storey Gibson's ownership, major renovation plans were announced, and the property was renamed Danville Mall. [8] As part of these renovations, the Belk store was remodeled, and the second Belk was closed. [9] In November 2015, Dunham's Sports opened on the lower level of the former Boscov's store. [10]

The food selection is Chick-fil-A along with China Shuttle being the lone eateries with China Shuttle announcing they plan to close down the business before holiday season. Leaving Chick-fil-A being the lone restaurant.
