The Mall at Sierra Vista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mall at Sierra Vista is an indoor shopping center located in Sierra Vista, Arizona. It was constructed during the late 1990s. Sierra Vista is one of the fastest growing communities in Arizona and the major population center for Southeastern Arizona. The developers had hoped to market to the growing community, which had no other malls.

During the mall's opening months, many shoppers expressed surprise at how small the mall was: although it appeared quite large from the outside, much of the space was taken by the mall's two anchor stores, Dillard's and Sears, leaving little room for the mall's single main corridor. Many local residents began calling the Mall "The Hall" or "The Small", because most of the stores were built along just this one relatively short passage of corridor.

By 2004, many of the stores in the mall began closing, leaving entire blocks of commercial space vacant. Around thirty shops and restaurants remain in the mall, but much of the shopping center is empty space.
