Old Hickory Mall is an enclosed shopping mall inJackson, Tennessee. It is managed byCBL & Associates Properties. It opened as an open-air shopping center in 1967. The anchor stores areBelk andJCPenney; two other anchor spaces are vacant.
Old Hickory Mall opened in 1967. It was developed by Hewitt Pegues Tomlin, Jr. and his sister, Francess Tigrett.[2] The mall included a branch of Kisber's, a department store that had been a downtown Jackson fixture since 1906. Around 1978, the mall was enclosed, and a new Kisber's department store was built behind the mall's original one.[3]
In 1985,Richard E. Jacobs Group acquired the mall.[4] By this point, the mall's anchors alongside Kisber's included Memphis-basedGoldsmith's, and national retailersJ. C. Penney andSears. By 1996, Kisber's had becomeBelk.[5]
CBL & Associates Properties bought 21 malls from the Jacobs group in 2000, including Old Hickory.[6] Changes that followed the CBL acquisition included anAbercrombie & Fitch store opening in 2003, displacing thefood court; and a conversion of the mall's Goldsmith's store toMacy's in 2005.[7] Despite the loss of the food court, as of 2013, there is a seating area and a handful of establishments to purchase food from.[8]
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide; the store closed in March 2019.[9]
On January 6, 2021, it was announced thatMacy's would be closing that April as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. Macy’s ended up shuttering its doors in March, a month early, leaving the Old Hickory Mall with only two of its four anchors remaining,[10]Belk andJCPenney.
