History

Developed by prolific mall builder Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr., the mall opened in 1962 as Fort Findlay Village Shopping Center, featuring Britt's and JCPenney, followed by Sears. [2] Originally an outdoor mall, it was enclosed in the 1970s. The mall expanded from 334,000 square feet to over 525,000 square feet in 1990, [3] [4] adding a new Kmart and JCPenney store along with Elder-Beerman.

Kmart closed in 2003. [5] A year later, the space was divided between TJ Maxx and Best Buy. [6] A movie theater at the mall closed in 2010. [3] In 2014, Sears announced that its store at the mall would close by April. [7] In October 2016, it was announced Big R (later renamed Stock + Field) would fill the Sears vacancy in 2017. On March 17, 2017, JCPenney announced they would be closing the Findlay store. [8] Elder-Beerman closed in August, 2018. [9] TJ Maxx moved from the mall to a new location formerly occupied by a Staples. [10]

In September of 2020, the mall was sold to Kohan Retail Investment Group for $4 million. [11]

On January 14, 2021, it was announced that Stock + Field would be closing as the chain is going out of business. [12] Best Buy and Dunham's Sports would have been the only two remaining anchors. However, it was later announced that Stock+Field had been purchased by R.P.Lumber and the stores would remain open. [13]
