History[]

Eastview Mall was built in 1971. Original tenants were Sibley's (later Kaufmann's, now Macy's) and Sears.[2] An expansion a year later added McCurdy's (later The Bon-Ton, now Von Maur).[3] It was expanded in 1995 with the addition of a wing anchored by Lord & Taylor and JCPenney and again at the main entrance in 2003 with sit down restaurants. Regal Cinemas also opened in 1995.[4]

In 1999, Eastview Commons, a shopping center located in the mall's area opened with Target, The Home Depot, Staples, Old Navy and Linens 'n Things (now Best Buy).

In 2000, BJ's Wholesale Club opened south of the mall.

In November 2011, it was announced that the Bon-Ton location was set to close at Eastview. The store was closed in March 2012.[5] Von Maur was announced to open at that location. This occurred in October 2013.[6]

In 2013, H&M closed at the mall. However, it returned eight years later in 2021.[7]

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Eastview Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[8]

In 2017, a Tesla supercharging station was added in the mall parking lot.

On August 22, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. The store closed on November 25, 2018.[10]
