History

Maplewood Mall, developed by Homart Development Company, opened in 1974; anchored by Sears and Powers Dry Goods. [12] There were approximately 120 stores in the mall at the time of the grand opening.

Local department store chain Donaldson's would purchase Powers in 1985 and convert all their stores to Donaldson's. Two years later, Carson Pirie Scott would do the same to Donaldson's, and rebrand all their stores as Carson Pirie Scott.

In 1988, MainStreet was added to the back of the mall; in March 1989, it would convert to Kohl's.

In 1996, a Mervyn's was added to the front of the mall; this anchor closed when Mervyn's left the Twin Cities market in 2004 and became a JCPenney shortly thereafter. That same year, Dayton's opened a store at the mall; it was the first Dayton's store in the Twin Cities to open since 1978. [13] Dayton's opened in the former Carson Pirie Scott location (the sole Carson Pirie Scott location which was sold to Target that did not become a Mervyn's, as there was already a Mervyn's at Maplewood Mall). Dayton's underwent a change in name to Marshall Field's in 2001, and then Macy's in 2006. [14]

In January 2025, Macy's announced that its store at Maplewood Mall would close in the first quarter of 2025. [15]
