Lakeview Square Mall is an enclosed shopping mall serving the city of Battle Creek, Michigan. It opened in 1983 and features three anchor stores: JCPenney, Macy's and Sears. The mall is managed by GK Development.
Sidney Forbes and Maurice Cohen, owners of Forbes/Cohen Properties, opened Lakeview Square on May 15, 1983. More than 10,000 people were present at the mall's opening ceremony. It was first proposed in 1978, but development was delayed by a homeowners' association lawsuit. When it opened, the mall featured three anchor stores: J.C. Penney, Sears and Hudson's (which became Marshall Field's in 2001 and Macy's in 2006).General Growth Properties bought the mall, along with Westwood Mall and Lansing Mall, from Forbes/Cohen in 1998. The same year, Old Navy opened at the mall, replacing a space vacated by Kalamazoo-based department store Gilmore Brothers five years prior.
Dunham's Sports also opened a store at the mall in 2006, relocating from a nearby plaza.Steve & Barry's opened a store at the mall in 2007, replacing Old Navy. The Steve & Barry's went out of business during the company's bankruptcy in 2008.
The mall was sold to Cushman & Wakefield in 2011, and again to GK Development in 2013.
Macy's and JCPenney will both close in 2017.
