Riverside Plaza is a 475000square feet outdoor mall in Riverside, California originally anchored by a 205000square feet Harris Company (later Harris’/Gottschalks) department store along with Montgomery Ward.[1] It was the city's first mall and was originally an outdoor mall and then remodeled to an enclosed indoor mall then again remodeled to an outdoor mall.
After a $12-million renovation in the early 2010s, the center features walkways, fountains, decorative lights and courtyard seats. Today it is anchored by a Regal Cinemas, Forever 21, Trader Joe's, Marshalls, JoAnn Fabrics & Crafts and Nordstrom Rack. [2]
Forever 21 opened first in the empty Harris’/Gottschalks building space, but relocated in 2013 to a space that Borders Books vacated.[2]
