Selma Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Selma, Alabama.[1][2][3][4] The mall's anchor stores are Belk, Goody's, and Citi Trends. The mall opened in 1971 with Sears, Britt's (a division of J.J. Newberry) and S.H. Kress as its major stores.[5] By the 1990s, Kress had become McCrory Stores, and Beall-Ladymon had joined as a central anchor.[6]

Sears closed in 1993[7] and became McRae's (now part of Belk) three years later.[8] Goody's, which replaced the former Beall-Ladymon, reopened in 2011 after closing in 2008.[9] Steele's was added in 2011 as another anchor.[10] In January 2014, JCPenney announced the pending closure of its Selma Mall store.[11]
