Central Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Port Arthur, Texas, United States. Opened in 1982, it features Dillard's, J. C. Penney, Target, TJ Maxx and a B&B Theatre.
The mall opened in 1982 with J. C. Penney, Dillard's, Sears, Bealls (now Stage), and The White House. Target was added in 2004.[2] Hurricane Rita destroyed the roof of the Dillard's store, which reopened in 2006.[3] [4] Hobby Lobby, which replaced the former White House store, was damaged beyond repair. Hobby Lobby is also now closed.[5] Other parts of the mall sustained roof damage as well.[6]
Bed Bath & Beyond joined the mall in late 2006-early 2007.[7] Steve & Barry's, added in 2005, closed in 2008.[8] The space was previously Old Navy, which closed in 2004.[9]
In 2013, TJ Maxx and Shoe Dept. Encore were added.[10] The former replaced a Luby's and a Gap which had closed in 2005,[11] and the latter replaced the former Old Navy/Steve & Barry's.
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.[12]
On September 15, 2022, it was announced that Bed Bath & Beyond would be closing as part of a plan to close 150 stores nationwide.[13]
In February 2024, 4th Dimension Properties acquired the Central Mall and announced that they are making additions and improvements to the mall. [14]
