History

Demolition and redevelopment

The majority of the former mall structure between Macy's and Sears was removed. The mall's concrete building pad was removed, crushed, and piled for reuse. [2] The redeveloped Streets at SouthGlenn sports a variety of entertainment and shopping, along with space for business and residential uses.
The new junior anchors as of 2012 are: Macy's Home Store, Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Best Buy. Other anchors include Macy's, and a Hollywood Theaters (currently operated by Regal) location with 14 screens, and a Whole Foods Market. One of the largest spaces in the redevelopment was slated to be occupied by Barnes & Noble, but in 2012 an Old Navy store opened in this location.
On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide.
On January 5, 2022, it was announced that Macy's would be closing as part of a plan to close 7 stores nationwide. It is the last store from the original mall.
