Miami Valley Centre Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Piqua, Ohio. Opened in 1988, it features J. C. Penney, Sears, Elder-Beerman, Dunham's Sports, and a Comfort Inn.

History

One of the original anchors was J. C. Penney, which moved from a store downtown that had been operational since 1922.[3] The other anchors were Elder-Beerman and Hills,[1] later Ames.

In 1999, Sears moved to the mall from an existing store at nearby Piqua East Mall. In reaction to this move, Elder-Beerman attempted to sue to keep Sears from opening there.[4] The Sears store opened in October of that year. Later, a Little Professor bookstore opened in the mall. Previously, the mall did not have a bookstore.[5]

Ames closed its store at the mall in 2000. Four years later, the space became Steve & Barry's. Other stores that opened in 2004 included Quiznos and CJ Banks.[6] In 2008, the theater complex in the mall was replaced by a 504,691-square-foot (46,887.3 m2) Cinemark complex on an outparcel.[7] At the end of the same year, Steve & Barry's closed.[8] In June 2014, it was reported that Dunham's Sports would be moving into the vacated Steve & Barry's by year's end.[9]
