Eastpoint Mall is a mall in Dundalk, Maryland. The mall currently has 140 stores, including its anchors Sears and JC Penney.[1]

The food court at the mall has been the site of retirees from World War II to reminisce.[2]

History

In the current location of the mall was a shopping center that included a Hutzler's and Hochschild Kohn's department store. In the 1970s, this shopping center was enclosed, thereby making the location a mall.[3] JC Penney came to the mall in 1974.[4] In 1981, a Record Bar store opened at the mall.[5] The Hutzler's store closed in 1984[6] and became Sears in 1991.[7] Value City and Value City Furniture later split the old Hochschild Kohn's building. Ames was also added as an anchor, later becoming Steve & Barry's. Steve & Barry's closed in 2008, becoming DSW and Shopper's World in 2010. Value City also closed in 2010, becoming Burlington Coat Factory.[8]
