The Centre at Forestville is an enclosed shopping mall located in Forestville, Maryland. It is anchored by JCPenney and Target.

History[]

The mall opened 1979 as Forest Village Park Mall, anchored by JCPenney and Kmart and developed by Melvin Simon & Associates.[2] The Kmart store closed in 2002.[3] In 2003, Petrie Ross Ventures purchased the mall from Simon Property Group for $20.3 million.[4] Petrie Ross tore down the vacant Kmart store and constructed a new Target store, remodeled the mall's interior, and renamed the mall as The Centre at Forestville.

On July 31, 2020, JCPenney closed 21 stores including Forestville.[5]
