From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Delta Plaza Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Escanaba, Michigan, in the United States. The mall is anchored by JC Penney, Menard's home improvement store, and ShopKo; it features approximately 30 stores and a food court. Delta Plaza Mall is owned by Rubloff Development.

[edit] History

The mall opened in November 1970, featuring two anchor stores - a Red Owl supermarket and a large Woolworth. Red Owl later became another supermarket, and by the 1980s it became J. C. Penney, which it is to this day. Also in the 1980s, a wing was added to the mall, featuring a small food court, as well as Jo-Ann Fabrics and ShopKo. Dunham's Sports also opened around the same time. Woolworth's large space eventually was occupied a Menard's home improvement store.

While Delta Plaza Mall is not a dead mall, it does have a few vacancies, mostly in the food court. From around 2004 to 2006, no actual food tenants operated in the food court, though a bank and a customer service desk were located there. One food tenant has since opened in the food court as of April 2006.
