Eastdale Mall is a regional enclosed shopping mall located in Montgomery, Alabama. It opened on August 3, 1977.[1] As of 2010, it was 964,717 square feet (89,625.1 m2) in size.[2] The anchor stores are At Home, JCPenney, Dillard's, and 2 Belk stores.[3]
History
[edit]Montgomery Ward was an original anchor to the mall. It closed in 1983 and became Sears.[4]
JCPenney was added to the mall in 2005, relocating from a store at Montgomery Mall.[5] Both of the Belk locations were previously occupied by Parisian until 2007; the larger of the two was built as Pizitz, then operated as McRae's from 1987 to 1998. Dillard's was previously a Gayfers until 1998. Sears closed in 2016.[6] At Home opened in the former Sears in 2017.[7]
The mall's movie theater closed in March 2013, but reopened sometime in 2021 and continues to show movies to this day. Later that same year, a Chuck E. Cheese's opened across from Belk in the mall.[8][9]
