History

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] However, it closed in 2008, as one of 10 unprofitable stores after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. [7]

Hull Storey Gibson bought the mall in 2012 after General Growth filed for bankruptcy. [8] Under Hull Storey Gibson's ownership, major renovation plans were announced, and the property was renamed Danville Mall. [9] As part of these renovations, the Belk store was remodeled, and the second Belk was closed. [10] In November 2015, Dunham's Sports opened on the lower level of the former Boscov's store. [11]

On May 3, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 42 stores nationwide. The store closed in August 2018. [12]

On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide, leaving Belk and Dunham's Sports as the only remaining anchor stores. [13]
