Eastdale Mall is a regional enclosed shopping mall located in Montgomery, Alabama. It opened on August 3, 1977. [1] As of 2010, it was 964,717 square feet (89,625.1 m2) in size. [2] The anchor stores are At Home, JCPenney, Dillard's, and 2 Belk stores. [3]

History

Montgomery Ward was an original anchor to the mall. It closed in 1983 and became Sears. [4]

JCPenney was added to the mall in 2005, relocating from a store at Montgomery Mall. [5] Both of the Belk locations were previously occupied by Parisian until 2007; the larger of the two was built as Pizitz, then operated as McRae's from 1987 to 1998. Dillard's was previously a Gayfers until 1998. Sears closed in 2016. [6] At Home opened in the former Sears in 2017. [7]

The mall's movie theater closed in March 2013, but reopened sometime in 2021 and continues to show movies to this day. Later that same year, a Chuck E. Cheese's opened across from Belk in the mall. [8] [9]
