The Decatur Mall (formerly Beltline Mall, River Oaks Center, and Colonial Mall) is a regional shopping mall located southwest of downtown Decatur, Alabama on State Route 67. The mall is owned by Urban Retail. It is the only mall in the Decatur Metropolitan Area. Anchor stores include Belk, JCPenney, and Sears. The mall also features a Regal Cinema and a Chuck E. Cheese's.

The Belk store was originally J.C. Penney until 1987, when it relocated to a new store and sold the old building to Parisian.[1] Dillard's had two anchors in the mall: one that it acquired from Castner Knott in 1998, and a second which was originally Rogers. Both of these closed in 2011. The former Rogers store became a movie theater, while the former Castner Knott partially became Electronic Express.[2]

J. C. Penney announced the closure of all its outlet stores in October 2013.[3] A year later, the Sears store was closed as well.[4]
