Lakeshore Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Gainesville, Georgia. It was built in 1970 and features four anchor stores. The mall is managed by Urban Retail Properties, LLC.

History

The center opened as Lakeshore Plaza in 1970, featuring Roses Stores and J. C. Penney. Belk-Gallant joined in 1973 as a third anchor.[2] An expansion in 1987 added a new wing on the opposite side of J.C. Penney, which included a Sears, a food court, and a movie theater.[3] Also, the Roses store became a second Belk. In 1998, the mall was sold to Colonial Properties,[2] and again in 2010 to Garrison Investment Group.[4]

In October 2013, Dick's Sporting Goods opened between Sears and JCPenney, in the space previously occupied by the food court, movie theater, and several small shop stores. When construction and demolition work for Dick's Sporting Goods began in late 2012 most of the retailers that occupied Dick's footprint were relocated to the other side of JCPenney. These stores included LensCrafters, Kay Jewelers, Great American Cookies and Body Central among others.
