History

Richard E. Jacobs group built the Midland Mall, which was originally anchored by J. C. Penney, Elder-Beerman, Target, and Sears. [1]

Barnes & Noble opened in the JCPenney wing in 2003. [2] A Steve & Barry's store was added in the same wing and closed in 2008. [3] The space became Dunham's Sports in 2011. [4]

Although Midland Mall is the smallest of the three malls in the Tri-Cities (which also comprises Bay City and Saginaw), it also had the lowest vacancy rate of the three. [5] The mall filled several vacancies in 2007 by adding Journeys, a Vanity clothing store and two eateries. [6] All of these tenants have since closed. The Elder-Beerman store was renamed Younkers in 2012. [7] Shoe Show opened a Shoe Dept. Encore store next to Younkers in mid-2015. [8] Sears closed in July 2016. [9] On March 17, 2017, it was announced that JCPenney would also be closing as part of a plan to close 138 stores nationwide. The store closed on July 31, 2017. [10] On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Younkers' parent company The Bon-Ton would be going out of business. The store closed on August 31, 2018, leaving Target as the only anchor left. [11]

Despite the fact that chain stores continue to leave the mall, businesses are still opening at Midland Mall. [12] In 2020, Fantastic Finds, a resale store, opened in the former Younkers space. [13] In addition, Planet Fitness moved their existing Midland location to the former JCPenney in 2020. [14] After Fantastic Finds moved into a smaller space in 2022, its anchor space was confirmed to undergo conversion to a Hobby Lobby. [15]
