History
Construction on Sikes Senter began in 1973, with Dillard's and J.C. Penney as the first anchor stores.[2] The mall opened in 1974, with Perkins department store joining as a third anchor in 1975.[3] The Perkins store became a second Dillard's, while Bealls was later added. Sears joined as an anchor in 1991, with additions in the 2000s including Books-A-Million and Old Navy.
Bealls closed in 2011,[4] as did New York & Company. Also, the Old Navy in the mall reduced its floor space by 25 percent.[5] Despite the loss of these stores, the mall maintained occupancy higher than the national average.[6] The former Bealls became The Shoe Department Encore in 2012. Sears closed in 2015 and became At Home a year later.[7]
