History

1970–1998: Beginnings

The center originated with a Leonard's department store, the Fort Worth-based chain's third location. This store was dedicated July 10, 1970. A single level mall of eighty inline stores was added, which officially opened March 25, 1971. [2] This included a Fort Worth-based Stripling's (inaugurated March 18, 1971) and JCPenney (which commenced operation November 3, 1971). North East Mall now encompassed 750,000 leasable square feet. Sears and Montgomery Ward stores were added, which opened in August 1978. This expansion also added twenty store spaces and the United Artists Cinema 6, along with Panda Express.

A further expansion ensued in 1990 when the mall gained a food court, created from the former location of Service Merchandise. [3]

In October 1999, a $200 million renovation and expansion of North East Mall succeeded. Plans to open a 385,000 square feet (36,000 m2) Power center adjacent to the Mall known as The Shops at North East Mall came to fruition, it officially opened in October 1999. The Shops at North East Mall opened in October 1999.

At the same time in 1999, the first parking structure were both completed. [5] Four parking garages were also constructed as part of the 1998–2001 remodeling. A new South Wing was built, containing 28 store spaces.

In 2000, Saks Fifth Avenue opened as the first and only store in Tarrant County inside a 100,000 sq ft space at the mall. [6]

When North East Mall held its official re-dedication on September 15, 2001, the center encompassed 1,749,000 leasable square feet and 168 stores and services. It was then the second-largest enclosed shopping mall in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and the second-largest in Texas, following The Galleria in Houston.

2005–present

In September 2006, Saks Fifth Avenue announced it would be shuttering entirely as part of a strategy implemented to improve profits margins substantially by electing to shutter nearly thirty five percent of its entire base over the course of several years. [7]

A BJ's Brewhouse opened outside the mall in 2009. [8]

On January 23, 2014, Dallas Morning News reported that new additions were coming to North East Mall, which were expected to open in spring 2014. [9] On January 27, 2014, KTVT reported that the construction on State Highway 183 was decreasing the population of the mall, as well the sales. [10]

On June 30, 2014, it was reported by the Fort Worth Business Press that according to Simon, new additions were coming to the mall. [11]

On November 1, 2019, a major scale refurbishment of the JCPenney store would be completed. [12]

The dawn of the 2020s saw several storied traditional department store retailers update its brick-and-mortar formats after being encroached upon to a degree by several digital retailers in recent years in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On August 6, 2019, it was announced that Sears will shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of its traditional brick-and-mortar format. [13]

On May 7, 2020, Nordstrom, which also maintains several additional outposts nearby, announced plans to shutter along with several additional locations as a direct result of pulling back because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [14] [15]

Several additional replacement tenants for each space are each reportedly in the midst of early on discussions. [15]
