**Carolina Mall** is an enclosed [shopping mall](/source/Shopping_mall) in [Concord, North Carolina](/source/Concord%2C_North_Carolina). It is one of two shopping malls in the city, the other being [Concord Mills](/source/Concord_Mills). Opened in 1972, Carolina Mall is owned and managed by [Hull Property Group](/source/Hull_Property_Group). The anchor stores are [Staples](/source/Staples_Inc.), [Belk](/source/Belk), and [JCPenney](/source/JCPenney). There is 1 vacant anchor store that was once [Sears](/source/Sears).

## History

Construction began in 1968. The mall opened on September 21, 1972 with about 25 stores, including a [Sears](/source/Sears). It was built by North Hills, Inc.[2] [J. C. Penney](/source/J._C._Penney) was added in 1987.[3] The addition of this store resulted in the closure of J. C. Penney stores in downtown Concord and in nearby [Kannapolis](/source/Kannapolis%2C_North_Carolina).[4]

In 1998, several new stores opened, including [American Eagle Outfitters](/source/American_Eagle_Outfitters), [LensCrafters](/source/LensCrafters), a new Staples store, a new Sears store, and a [food court](/source/Food_court).[5] These additions were part of a mall-wide renovation that also included the renovation of the Belk store and the expansion of J. C. Penney.[6]

A year later, [Concord Mills](/source/Concord_Mills) opened. A 2004 article stated that this mall, which is more than twice the size of Carolina Mall, did not "overshadow" it due to Concord Mills featuring entertainment-oriented and outlet stores instead of traditional mall stores.[7] In April 2002, Carolina Mall was sold to [Hull Property Group](/source/Hull_Property_Group).[8]

On November 8, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 7 stores nationwide. The store closed on January 24, 2021.[9]
