History[]

Jacobs Visconsi & Jacobs developed Eastgate Mall. Construction began in 1974, with J. C. Penney and Sears confirmed as anchor stores.[1] At opening day, the mall featured these two stores, along with 90 other tenants and space for two additional department stores.[2]

McAlpin's opened to the public in 1992. It would be renamed Dillard's in 1998.[3] On August 4, 1995, Kohl's would officially open as the mall's fourth anchor store.[4]

In March 2015, Dillard's was transformed into a clearance center and the number of floors was reduced to just one.[5]

On August 31, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location as a part of a plan to close 85 stores nationwide. The store closed on December 15, 2019.[6]
