History[]

A Desmond's (department store) anchored Mesa Mall in the early 1980s.[2] Mesa Mall was acquired by Macerich in 1997 in a joint venture purchase of 12 regional malls owned by the International Business Machine Corp.'s pension fund. The price was $974.5 million, including the assumption of $485 million of debt. Sales per square foot for the malls were heading for over $260 for 1997 with an occupancy at about 89%.[3]

The mall was previously anchored by a Mervyn's which closed when the chain folded in 2008, it was replaced by Cabela's in 2010. The mall's sixth anchor store is HomeGoods, which was formerly Sports Authority.[4]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Herberger's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[5]

On August 22, 2018, Sears announced that they would also be closing as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. The store closed in November 2018.[6]

On February 20, 2019, it was announced that the former Sears will be demolished for a Dillard's.[7] It opened on October 6, 2021.[8]

On January 28, 2021, it was announced that Dick's Sporting Goods will open up in the former Herberger's.[9] The store opened on August 27, 2021.[10]

In March 2021, HomeGoods opened in the former Sports Authority.[11]
