Hickory Hollow Mall is a regional indoor shopping mall in Antioch, Tennessee, a neighborhood of Nashville. The mall was built in 1978. In 1982, a JCPenney and several other stores were added. Another expansion project in 1991 resulted in a new building for Dillard's, with a mall expansion built within the former Dillard's location. The two-level mall is built in a cross pattern, with four wings situated around a central hub. The Food Court, an original feature of the mall, is situated between the Sears and former JCPenney wings.

JC Penney left the mall in 2006. It was replaced with Steve & Barry's, which closed due to bankruptcy in 2009. Dillard's closed its Hickory Hollow store in August 2008. General economic decline and competition from newer nearby shopping centers in Mt. Juliet, Smyrna, and Murfreesboro (all of which were considered part of Hickory Hollow's trading area) are all speculated as factors that have resulted in a drop in retailers and per-square-foot sales. It has been discussed with Nashville State Community College that a campus would begin classes in 2012 in the former Steve and Barry's wing, but nothing has been finalized.
Offices, big box retailers, and alternative use facilities must be found to inhabit the declining mall in order to keep this once vibrant shopping center from a fate similar to West Nashville's Bellevue Center, where no retailers remain except for Sears.[1][2]
On December 27, 2011, Sears Holdings announces Sears in Hickory Hollow Mall to shut down its Hickory Hollow Mall store in early 2012, and also on January 2012, Macy's announces it will close its location in early spring that year along with 5 underperforming stores, leaving Hickory Hollow Mall without an anchor store.
