Vancouver Mall is a shopping mall owned by Cenntenial Real Estate, and is located in the Portland suburb of Vancouver, Washington, U.S. It is anchored by JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears. Longtime past anchor stores included Meier & Frank, Nordstrom and Mervyn's. Opened in 1977, it was known as Westfield Vancouver mall from 1998 to 2015.
Vancouver Mall opened in August 1977 with Meier & Frank, Nordstrom and Sears as anchors. During phase two of mall expansion, a JCPenney was added. A Lipman's was also planned, but was not built. Eventually, Mervyns would open where the Lipman's had been planned.
While the mall is now located within the Vancouver city limits, until 1993 the property was in an unincorporated part of Clark County.
In 1993, the mall added a new food court and underwent a renovation of its interior. The mall was acquired in 1994 by Westfield America, Inc.
In 1998, the mall was renamed "Westfield Shoppingtown Vancouver", at which time the mall had 146 stores using 870,000 square feet (81,000 m2) of space. However, "Shoppingtown" was dropped from the name in September 2005, making it Westfield Vancouver mall.
In mid-2005, work was started on a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) expansion to the Meier & Frank store by its then-owner, the May Department Stores Company, adding 30,000 square feet on each of two levels, completed in 2006. Following the acquisition of the May Company by Federated Department Stores, the Meier & Frank store was renamed Macy's in September 2006.
