History

Southpark Mall first opened in 1989. Five years later in 1994, Sam's Club opened in the mall's southeast outlot area.[2] Dillard's closed in 2012. The store was originally Leggett and later Belk.[3] The same year, renovations began on converting it to Dick's Sporting Goods and small shop space.[4]

On November 2, 2017, it was announced that Sears, which had been at the mall since its opening in 1989, would be closing as part of a plan to close 63 stores nationwide. The store closed in January 2018.
