Meadowood Mall is a one-level, 890,000-square-foot (83,000 m2) super-regional mall in Reno, Nevada, owned and managed by Simon Property Group. Meadowood Mall contains 100 retailers and restaurants and it is anchored by Macy’s Women, Macy’s Men/Home, Sears and JCPenney.
Meadowood Mall opened in 1978 anchored by JCPenney, Liberty House, and Macy's. Liberty House closed in 1983 and Macy's South moved in the following year. The mall added a Copeland's Sporting Goods Superstore in 1989 as a fourth anchor. An expansion in 1995 added Sears as a fifth anchor, with additional in-line shops, and the Palms Food Court. Following Copeland's bankruptcy filing in 1996, the company was acquired by Sports Authority. Meadowood Mall's superstore was subsequently re-branded, despite Sports Authority having a stand-alone location less than a mile away. Due to operating costs of having two stores in such a close proximity, the Meadowood location was closed in 2011. There are now over 100 shops, a food court and one restaurant in the mall.
Despite renovations, nearby Park Lane Mall struggled to compete with Meadowood Mall and had been failing to retain tenants for several years. The Taubman Company, which owned Meadowood Mall at the time, took advantage and was able to woo several tenants from Park Lane as part of an expansion project. The most notable addition was Sears, which built a two story anchor location on the north end of the mall, with a new hallway and several new inline store locations leading to the new anchor. The addition also created space for a food court, named the Palms Food Court, to house 12 eateries.
The mall was built and operated by Taubman Company for its first two decades. General Motors Pension Trusts acquired the mall from Taubman in 1998 in exchange for equity it had in the mall company. In April 2004, General Motors Pension Trusts sold the mall to Mills Corporation, which, in turn, was bought by Simon Property Group in 2007.
