?History:
- Chapel Hill Mall Is A One-Story, 860,000 Square-Foot Enclosed Mall In Akron, Ohio. Built By Forest City Enterprises, Chapel Hill Mall Opened On October 12, 1967. They Continued To Own Chapel Hill Mall Until 2004, When It Was Sold To CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Who Owned It Until 2014. At It's Peak The Chapel Hill Mall Featured More Than 100 Stores, With Sears, JCPenney, & Macy's As The Anchor Tenants. A Plan Was Considered In 1988 By Part-Owner Forest City Enterprises. It Included A 90,000-Square-Foot Addition For An Additional Department Store. Expansion Was Again Mentioned In 1989. A Front-Page Story On The January 31, 1990 Edition Of The Akron Beacon Journal Read "Higbee's Coming To Chapel Hill Mall". The Store, Along With A Food Court & Additional Retail Space, Would Be Open By Fall 1991, It Said In 1994, The Chapel Hill Mall's Owners Added The Food Court & Retail Expansion That Exists Today. New Flooring & Ceiling Tiles, A New Fountain, & New Lighting Were Also Added. Chapel Hill Mall Features No Major Anchor Stores As Of October 2020. JCPenney Opened In 1966 Before The Mall Proper. A Second Store, Macy's, Operated In An Anchor That Was Originally Occupied By Local Chain O'Neil's Until 1989, May Co. Until 1993, & Kaufmann's From 1993 To 2006. Macy's Closed In 2016. Sears Was A Third Anchor Of The Mall Which Opened In 1967 At The Same Time As The Chapel Hill Mall & Operated Until 2017. There Used To Be A Multi-Screen Cinema At The Chapel Hill Mall As Well. It Opened In October 1966 As A Two-Screen Theater, & Eventually Expanded To Five Screens. In 1987, General Cinemas (Owner Of The Chapel Hill Mall's Cinema) Opened An 8-Screen Multiplex Just West Of The Mall, & In October 1996, Regal Cinemas Opened Their 10-Screen Theater Immediately South Of The Chapel Hill Mall. Less Than Two Weeks Later, The General Cinemas At The Chapel Hill Mall Closed, & Old Navy Took Over The Former Theater Until It Closed In 2016. Woolworth Also Operated A Store At The Mall Until 1997. It Was Later Occupied By Gap Which Has Since Closed As Well. On January 4, 2017, Sears Holdings Announced That The Chapel Hill Sears Store Would Be Closing The Following Spring Due To Declining Sales. On January 16, 2020, It Was Announced That JCPenney Will Close On April 24, 2020 As Part Of A Plan To Close 6 Stores Nationwide, Leaving The Mall With No Anchors. As Of October 2020, Chapel Hill Mall Has Less Than 22 Stores & Is Set To Close In March 2021.
