Tulsa Promenade Mall is a 926,426-square-foot (86,067.8 m2) shopping center located in the Midtown section of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is anchored by Dillard's, JCPenney and a third anchor store last occupied by Mervyn's until 2005.[2]

History

The original structure was built in 1965 as an outdoor shopping center called Southland, anchored by Brown-Dunkin[3] (now Dillard’s[4]) and JCPenney. In 1986, the property was rebuilt as an indoor mall, retaining the Dillard's and JCPenney stores as anchors while adding Mervyn's as a third.[lower-alpha 1] Campbell Company developed the original plaza, and Robert B. Aikens converted it to the present-day mall structure.[5]

The next physical renovation to Tulsa Promenade Mall was in 1996 with parking structures on the north and south sides of the center, expansion of Dillard’s and addition of Foley's.[lower-alpha 2] In 1998 the Hollywood Palace 12 Theatre opened. The 1999 renovation added carpeting, fixtures, additional restrooms. The tenant mix was enhanced significantly over the next few years with the addition of El Chico restaurant and many retail concepts. In 2005, the center was renovated with the addition of a soft play area, indoor fountains and planters, a glass elevator and a newly designed exterior corner consisting of signage and landscaping.

Mervyns, which occupied two floors on the west end of the mall as an anchor store, closed in 2005. In 2011 approximately 75% of the first floor (of the former Mervyns space) was leased by Sky Fitness, leaving about 25% of the first floor and 100% of the second floor still vacant.[6] In January 2017, Macy's announced that they will be closing the Promenade location by the end of the year; it closed on March 26, 2017.[7]

Notes

  1. ↑ Mervyn's has since gone out of business, and Sky Fitness, has leased much of the original Mervyn's ground floor space.
  2. ↑ Foley's was acquired by Macy's in 2005, which re-branded all existing Foley's stores as Macy's in 2006. The Macy store in Promenade Mall permanently closed on March 26, 2017.
