History
Crown American developed Mount Berry Square, which opened in 1991[1] with J.C. Penney, Sears, Belk-Rhodes and Hess's, all four of which replaced existing stores throughout Mount Berry.[2] Both J.C. Penney and Belk-Rhodes featured new store designs that placed a greater emphasis on fashion than the previous stores.[3] The Hess's store closed in 1993, with Proffitt's replacing it.[4] This store became a second Belk and has since closed. It is now occupied by Dunham's Sports, which opened in late 2013.[5] On January 12, 2016, Sears announced it is closing down it's doors this March.
