Randolph Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Asheboro, North Carolina. Built in 1982, the mall features Dunham's Sports, JCPenney, Sears, and Belk as its anchor stores. It is managed by CBL & Associates Properties.

History

The mall's original tenants included Woolco and Belk-Yates.[2] Woolco later became Roses, which closed in August 2000.[3] Also that year, Belk expanded its store.[4]

In 2001, CBL & Associates Properties bought the mall from Richard E. Jacobs Group. The same year, Dillard's opened in the vacated Roses store.[5] Books-A-Million opened at the mall in 2004, taking a space vacated by Eckerd Drug in 1997.[6] In 2013, Dillard's announced that the Randolph Mall store would close.[7] The same year, it was announced that Dunham's Sports would be replacing it.[8] In January 2015, it was announced the JCPenney store was closing as part of a plan to close 39 underperforming stores nationwide.[9]
