About the mall

The mall opened in 1994, and was a joint development of Homart Development Company (the mall building subsidiary of Sears) and The Woodlands Corporation.[3][4] This would be the final development by Homart before its acquisition by General Growth Properties.

The Woodlands Mall features four anchor stores: Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears.[1] In addition, the mall features a food court and several restaurants on the periphery. The mall was home to the Woodlands Children's Museum (formerly a Mervyn's department store), as well as the Woodlands Xploration Station, a satellite facility of the Houston Museum of Natural Science.[5] Both were later evicted in favor of a Forever 21.[6] In 2004, a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) outdoor section was added featuring a Barnes & Noble bookstore, several upscale shops, and Class A office space, as well as a 1.4-mile (2.3 km) waterway, which features a water taxi.[7][8]

In April 2007, the mall partnered with NearbyNow, a digital applications company based in California, to offer shoppers a service that allows them to search for items at the mall through their cell phones or home computers.[9]
