Sierra Vista Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Clovis, California. Opened in 1988, the mall features Kohl's, Sears, and Target, plus a go-kart track and movie theater.

History

Sierra Vista Mall was built in 1988 by the Hahn Company. The original anchor stores were Mervyn's, Gottschalks, and Target.[2] The mall was sold to Citicorp in 1995 and again to LandValue in 2002. A Sears was added in 1999 along with 10 other stores.[3]

In 2006, an outdoor lifestyle center section was added, including several restaurants and a 16-screen movie theater. Both Mervyn's and Gottschalks closed when the chains declared bankruptcy, in 2008 and 2009 respectively.[4] causing a decrease in mall foot traffic. The Gottschalks store was intended to reopen in 2010 as a flagship for a failed revival of the chain.[5]

Kohl's replaced the Mervyn's in 2010, and an indoor go-kart track replaced the former Gottschalks in 2014.[6][7] The mall was sold at a foreclosure auction for $39 million to LNR Property LLC in January 2015.[8][9][10]
