[edit] History
San Jacinto Mall opened its doors in 1981[3] and was built relatively large for its area outside of Houston, gaining criticism. The mall was relatively large. It had four huge wings, shaping much like an overlapping "L". Where the "L"s overlapped was a JCPenney and a food court[4]. The other wings had each one anchor and one junior anchor: there was a wing with Mervyn's with Service Merchandise as its junior anchor, a wing with Foley's with Palais Royal as its junior anchor, a wing with Montgomery Ward and junior anchor Bealls, and a wing with Sears and junior anchor The Fair, now occupied by Marshall's. But over the years, the mall had trouble competing with other businesses in the area. The mall began losing stores as the people of Baytown simply preferred to shop at Katy Mills, The Galleria, or other malls in Houston. The other malls in the Houston area eventually stole the stores away from San Jacinto Mall. The anchors eventually left. Service Merchandise and Montgomery Ward closed 2001, with Bealls leaving the same year. These anchors were never retenanted. The next large hit happened in early 2006, when Mervyn's closed all their Texas stores. This left another section of the mall without anchors. Around that time, the former Bealls/Wards corridor was sealed off and is soon to be a lifestyle center, though no details were ever fully released on that. Finally, Foley's was rebranded as Macy's in September 2006. The mall was never renovated, although a movie theater was added near the food court. The food court is only part of the mall that is doing well, while the mall as a whole is 2/3 vacant.
