[edit] History
The first store to open at the site of the Oakland Mall was Sears, which opened in 1965. [1] In 1968, the mall itself opened, featuring Hudson's, Wrigley Supermarket, and S. S. Kresge. [2] Wrigley Supermarket was later converted to J. C. Penney in the late 1970s. This store was torn down for a northern expansion, which opened in 1979. This new wing, unlike the original mall, was two stories, featuring a new J. C. Penney store and a movie theater. In 1987, S. S. Kresge closed and was replaced with smaller stores. A food court was added to the mall in the late 1990s, replacing a former combination Burger King/Godfather's Pizza. Borders opened in the late 1990s. The theaters were closed in 2000[3], and were later converted to Steve & Barry's. Hudson's was converted to Marshall Field's in 2001. In 2004, Lord & Taylor was proposed to become the mall's fourth department store; however, the store never materialized.[4] September 2006 saw the conversion of Marshall Field's (and other May Co. nameplates) to the Macy's name.
