Great Lakes Mall is a shopping mall in Mentor, Ohio on Mentor Avenue (U.S. Route 20), approximately 20miles northeast of Cleveland. The anchor stores are Round 1 Entertainment, Dillard's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. There are two vacant anchor stores that were once Sears and Macy's. The first stores of the mall were opened January 17, 1961,[1] as part of an early development of Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., owned by the Glazer–Marotta Company.[4] Throughout the 1960s, the mall was expanded and enclosed.[5] [6] [7] In 1988, a multi-year renovation occurred, which included replacing the flooring and adding a food court, and a subsequent renovation occurred in 2011.[8] Olive Garden, BJ's Brewhouse, Hobby Lobby, Outback Steakhouse, Barnes & Noble and Atlas Cinemas Stadium 16[7] are located in the mall parking lot. The mall contains 12495740NaN0. On May 28, 2014, it was announced by Simon Property Group that they would transfer Great Lakes Mall to its new spin off Washington Prime Group.[9] Washington Prime Group later became WP Glimcher and then back to Washington Prime Group. In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Great Lakes Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[10] Dillard's North closed in May 2017, consolidating the men and women's sections into one building;[11] Sears closed in September 2017.[12] Macy's closed in April 2021 due to a plan to close 46 stores nationwide.[13]
