North East Mall (previously as Northeast Mall) is an American super-regional shopping mall located in Hurst, Texas, United States, a suburb in the Dallas metro area. The mall is located below highways SH 121, SH 183, and is east of Interstate Highway 820 S. The shopping mall features two units, the main mall and the outside being the Shops at North East Mall both encompassing a total of 2,134,000 square feet (198,000 m2) and featuring over 170+ stores.
The center originated with a Leonard's department store, the Fort Worth-based chain's third location. This store was dedicated July 10, 1970. A single level mall of eighty inline stores was added, which officially opened March 25, 1971 or 1972. This included a Fort Worth-based Stripling's (inaugurated March 18, 1971) and J.C. Penney (which commenced operation November 3, 1971). North East Mall now encompassed 750,000 leasable square feet. Sears and Montgomery Ward stores were added, which opened in August 1978. This expansion also added twenty store spaces and the United Artists Cinema 6.
The gross leasable area of the mall now stood at 1,300,000 square feet (120,000 m2), with 106 inline stores. The mall office is located near Sears.
Dillard's bought the Leonard's chain in 1974 and re-branded all stores in 1975. In 1986, they reconfigured their existing North East Mall store as a Dillard's Women's. The vacant Stripling & Cox became a Dillard's Men's. In 1977, Fort Worth's Dunlap's had acquired the W.C. Stripling Company (Stripling's). Another local chain, R.E. Cox and Company (Cox's), was bought in 1981. These chains were merged into Stripling & Cox in 1983, the North East Mall store was later shuttered in January 1986. The existing J.C. Penney had been expanded by 83,000 square feet (7,700 m2) in 1996.
