Eastern Shore Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eastern Shore Centre is a 540,000 square foot lifestyle center located in the Spanish Fort suburb of Mobile, AL at the intersection of Malbis Parkway (Alabama State Route 181) and I-10. A landscaped perimeter road, Eastern Shore Boulevard, connects the lifestyle and power center components of this hybrid regional center. Developed by The MGHerring Group and designed by CMH Architects of Birmingham, AL, it officially opened on November 17 of 2004, following a slight delay caused by Hurricane Ivan, although the Dillards department store was operating a few weeks earlier. The lifestyle center is anchored by the Dillards and Belk department stores, while the bookstore Barnes & Noble and the home furnishings retailer Bed, Bath and Beyond are additional junior anchors. In-line merchants include Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, The Sharper Image, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Ann Taylor LOFT, Coldwater Creek, Charlotte Russe, Hollister Co. and Kirkland's Home. Numerous eateries and service-oriented businesses are situated on outparcels in the parking lots of both Eastern Shore Centre and Eastern Shore Plaza.
As it is a regional shopping center, Eastern Shore Centre also includes a smaller power center component located on site, adjacent the lifestyle center. Eastern Shore Plaza, as this power center is known, is more than 250,000 square feet in size and is tenanted with big box stores such as Best Buy, PetSmart, Old Navy, Ross Dress For Less and Cost Plus World Market.
