History
Adrian Mall opened on September 3, 1970. At the time, the mall included Sears and F.W. Woolworth Company as its anchor stores, with JCPenney opening as the third anchor in April 1971.
In 1985, the mall underwent a $1.5 million renovation, which included the addition of an Elder-Beerman department store.
The mall underwent several ownership changes in the 2000s. General Growth Properties bought it in 2002, CBL & Associates Properties bought it in 2008, and it was sold again to Jones Lang LaSalle in 2010. In December 2014, Texas-based Tabani Group purchased the Adrian Mall for an undisclosed amount. A firm spokesman said it planned to make the mall a premier shopping destination and hoped to form partnerships with area businesses and organizations.
The mall lost several merchants in 2009, including Waldenbooks and one of the last Sam Goody stores. Sears closed in 2012. In 2013, renovations plans were announced which included the conversion of part of the Sears store to a new Hobby Lobby and the expansion of MC Sports existing store. JCPenney also announced the closure of its Adrian Mall store in January 2015. Dunham's Sports took over the former JCPenney wing, which includes the MC Sports store that closed in late 2015. The grand opening of Dunham's Sports was May 20, 2016. On January 31, 2018, The Bon-Ton Stores announced that Elder-Beerman would close in April 2018 as part of a plan to close 42 stores nationwide. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that The Bon-Ton Stores would be going out of business due to bankruptcy.
