Montgomery Mall was an enclosed shopping mall in Montgomery, Alabama. Opened in 1970, it closed in 2008 after several years of declining traffic. The mall's anchor stores were J.C. Penney, Parisian, and Gayfers (later Dillard's, then Steve & Barry's). In February 2013, redevelopment began on the vacant mall property.
Montgomery Mall opened in 1970 with Montgomery Fair and J.C. Penney as its anchor stores. Other major tenants at the time included Lerner New York, Morrison's Cafeteria, Singer Sewing Center, and Elmore Variety Store. The Montgomery Fair store was later rebranded Gayfers. An expansion, begun in 1987 and completed in 1988, added a new wing anchored by Parisian.
In 1998, Glimcher Realty Trust bought the mall for $70 million. By the early 2000s, several stores had begun to close in the mall, including Piccadilly Cafeteria,Gap, Eddie Bauer, Ruby Tuesday, and American Eagle Outfitters. Both J.C. Penney and Dillard's, which acquired the Gayfers chain in 1998, closed their stores at Montgomery Mall in 2005. The former relocated to a new store at Eastdale Mall, while the latter moved to The Shoppes at Eastchase.
