History[]

Arrowhead Mall was built in 1987 in the downtown district of Muskogee.[3]

In 2005, J. Herzog bought the mall from its original owner, Warmack & Company.[4]

On April 10, 2010, a deadly shooting broke out at the Arrowhead Mall injuring at least five people and leaving one dead; witnesses say that the shooting was gang related.[5]

J. Herzog updated the mall throughout 2014, removing the old play area and adding more seating in the food court, free Wi-Fi, and a Justice clothing store.[6] Sears announced the closure of its Muskogee store in August 2014.[7] Sears closed in November 2014. The United States Postal Service moved into part of the old Sears store location in 2019.[8]

Dillard's closed May 2019 and Stage closed August 2020. On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would close around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. The JCPenney closure left the mall without any anchors.[9]
