Turtle Creek Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, United States. Opened in 1994, its anchor stores are At Home, JCPenney, Dillard's, and Belk. There are 2 vacant anchor stores that were once Sears and Stein Mart.

History[]

The first anchor stores that opened at Turtle Creek were Dillard's, Gayfers, and Goody's, all of which opened in October 1994. McRae's and JCPenney were added in 1995.[2] By 1999, Turtle Creek was at 100 percent capacity.[3]

The Gayfers anchor was converted into a second McRae's location when Gayfers was bought out by Dillard's in 1998.[4] Both were acquired by Belk in 2006, which consolidated all operations into the former Gayfers anchor in 2010. [5] Goody's closed in 2009 and was converted into Stein Mart in 2011.[6]

On May 31, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing 72 of its stores in the U.S., including its Turtle Creek location, which closed in September 2018.[7]

On August 12, 2020, it was announced that Stein Mart had filed bankruptcy and would be closing all of its stores in the U.S., including its Turtle Creek location.[8]
