History

One of the original anchors was J. C. Penney, which moved from a store downtown that had been operational since 1922. [3] The other anchors were Elder-Beerman and Hills [1] (later Ames).

In 1999, Sears moved to the mall from an existing store at nearby (now defunct) Piqua East Mall (formerly Piqua Mall). In reaction to this move, Elder-Beerman attempted to sue to keep Sears from opening there. [4] The Sears store opened in October of that year. Later, a Little Professor bookstore opened in the mall. Previously, the mall did not have a bookstore. [5]

Ames closed its store at the mall in 2000. Four years later, the space became Steve & Barry's. Other stores that opened in 2004 included Quiznos and CJ Banks. [6] In 2008, the theater complex in the mall was replaced by a 504,691-square-foot (46,887.3 m2) Cinemark complex on an outparcel. [7] At the end of the same year, Steve & Barry's closed. [8] In June 2014, it was reported that Dunham's Sports would be moving into the vacated Steve & Barry's by year's end. [9]

Elder-Beerman closed on August 26, 2018, due to the bankruptcy of parent company The Bon-Ton. [10]

After a November 8, 2018 announcement that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 40 locations, [11] the store closed in February 2019. [12] [13]

On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that it would close by October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. [14] After JCPenney closed, Dunham's Sports became the only remaining anchor store.
