Greenbrier Mall is a nearly regional mall in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. The mall has a hillside terrain, with entries on both upper and lower levels. It serves communities on the east coast in the states of Virginia and North Carolina.[2]
The mall currently has 114 retailers, three anchors (Dillard's, JCPenney, and Macy's with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears), several eateries at the mall's food court, including Chick-fil-A, several restaurants including Abuelo's, Olive Garden, Red Robin, Black Pelican Seafood, and Cinema Café dinner movie theater.
The mall's original anchors were Miller & Rhoads (sold to Hecht's in 1990[3]), Sears, and Leggett, a division of Belk. Hess's was added in 1987.[4]
Proffitt's, which acquired the former Hess's in 1993, was sold to Dillard's in 1996.[5] The Leggett store briefly operated as Belk before it was traded to Dillard's in 1998 as part of a mutual exchange.[6] The former Belk became a men's and children's auxiliary store.[7]
In 2003, Greenbrier Mall underwent an extensive renovation. Dillard's consolidated both stores to the former Proffitt's at the east end with a 160000square feet reconstruction. In addition, the mall received a new color scheme and its current "G" mall logo, and the former Leggett/Belk/Dillard's building was converted to JCPenney.[8]
In April 2004, during the renovation, CBL & Associates acquired the mall from Gregory Greenfield & Associates, Ltd. for $102.5 million. A year later, the new JCPenney department store was completed, and officially opened at the north end of the mall.[9] In 2006, as part of a nationwide transition, Hecht's was rebranded as Macy's.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Greenbrier Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[10]
On June 28, 2018, Sears announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 78 stores nationwide. The store closed in September 2018.[11]
In 2019, Gameworks, formerly Jillians, announced it will move to MacArthur Center by spring 2020.However these plans has been shelved due to the closure of all (expect 1) of their locations.
In 2020, a Rosie's Gaming Emporium, a bar, four restaurants, and a hotel was proposed to take the lot formerly occupied by Sears. On September 15, 2020, Chesapeake City council withdrawn proposal because traffic concern on 2 intersections along Greenbrier Pkwy, Crosssways Blvd, and Eden Way North.[12]
On March 10, 2022, the mall was placed into receivership with CBL & Associates anticipating returning the property to the lender.[13] The property officially transferred to the lender in October 2022.[14]
