History

Patrick Henry Mall, which is named after the adjacent Patrick Henry International Airport, opened as the Peninsula area's third enclosed regional mall in 1987. It was built on a site previously occupied by a large dairy farm run by the Yoders, a local Mennonite family. [3] It was the first mall in the region to feature a food court. [4] Built by Crown American, it was originally anchored by Hess's, Leggett, and Bradlees. [5] The Bradlees store became Uptons in 1988. [6] Hess's sold its store in the mall to Proffitt's in 1995; both it and the Leggett became Dillard's stores in 1998. [7] [8] A 1998 expansion added Hecht's (rebranded Macy's in 2006). [9] Uptons closed in 1999 and became J. C. Penney in 2000. [10]

Dillard's consolidated operations into the former Leggett building in 2004. The former Hess's/Proffitt's/Dillard's Home Store was then torn down for a 2005-2006 expansion which included a Dick's Sporting Goods, Borders Books & Music, plus New York & Company, Red Robin, and new locations for existing retailers American Eagle Outfitters, Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, Express, and Hallmark Cards. [11] Borders closed in early 2011 [12] and became Forever 21 in October 2012.

In September 2017, Tilt Studio announced that will be opening this location, with J.P. Pepperoni restaurant, mini bowling alley, one-story laser tag, games and others. This opened on December 18, 2017 in the former AMC 7/Old Navy.
