Located in Grand Junction, Colorado, the mall is located on US highway 6 and US Highway 50 (along with I-70 Business Loop). Managed by Washington Prime Group, the mall is anchored by Cabela's, Herberger's, JCPenney, Sears, and Target.

History

Mesa Mall was acquired by Macerich in 1997 in a joint venture purchase of 12 regional malls owned by the International Business Machine Corp.'s pension fund. The price was $974.5 million, including the assumption of $485 million of debt. Sales per square foot for the malls were heading for over $260 for 1997 with an occupancy at about 89%.[2]

The mall was previously anchored by a Mervyn's which closed when the chain folded in 2008, it was replaced by Cabela's in 2010. The mall's sixth anchor store was Sports Authority which went out of business in 2016 and is currently vacant.[3]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Herberger's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores is going out of business. The store will close on August 31, 2018.[4]

On August 22, 2018, Sears announced that they would also be closing as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. The store will close in November 2018. After the store closes Cabela's, JCPenney, and Target will be the remaining anchors left.[5]
