Danville Mall


Danville Mall, formerly Piedmont Mall, is an enclosed shopping mall in Danville, Virginia. Opened in 1984, it is managed by Hull Property Group. The mall's anchor stores are Belk, Dunham's Sports, and J. C. Penney.

History

The original anchors of Piedmont Mall were J. C. Penney, Hills, Belk-Leggett, and Globman's, which closed in 1990 and was later an auxiliary store for Belk. Sears was later added as a fifth anchor. General Growth Properties bought the mall in 1995.
The Hills store was sold to Ames and closed in 2001. In November 2005, the former Hills/Ames space became the first Boscov's store in Virginia, but it closed only three years later.
Hull Storey Gibson bought the mall in 2012 after General Growth filed for bankruptcy. Under Hull Storey Gibson's ownership, major renovation plans were announced, and the property was renamed Danville Mall. As part of these renovations, the Belk store was remodeled, and the second Belk was closed. In November 2015, Dunham's Sports opened on the lower level of the former Boscov's store.
The food selection, while limited, is headlined by Chick-fil-A.
On May 3, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 42 stores nationwide. The store closed in August 2018.
On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney will be closing around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. After JCPenney closes, Belk and Dunham's Sports will be the only remaining anchor stores left.
