History

Melvin Simon & Associates built Jefferson Valley Mall in 1983, which included Service Merchandise Sears and Read's (later Jordan Marsh, then Abraham & Straus, now Macy's). ^[2]

Expansion plans were announced in 1996. These were to comprise the addition of 80,000 square feet to Macy's and an additional anchor. ^[3]

Service Merchandise, another mall tenant that closed in 1999, became H&M in 2001. ^[4]

In the early 2000s, the mall went under a renovation; the flooring and color were changed, along with the removal of the fountain and trees. ^[5] In February 2016, the mall ownership was changed from Simon to Washington Prime Group.

Construction is underway to expand and renovate the mall. ^{[6] [7]} On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would shutter. ^[8] It is set to be reconstructed to feature additional mall space.
