Mid Rivers Mall (formerly Westfield Shoppingtown Mid Rivers) is a shopping center in St. Peters, Missouri, just off Interstate 70. The mall opened in 1987[1] and has since grown to be St. Charles County's largest shopping center.[2] Mid Rivers Mall includes over 140 shops and four anchor stores (Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, and Dillard's)[1] The mall is owned by CBL & Associates Properties, which acquired the property in 2007 from the Westfield Group.[3]

History

Famous-Barr opened their store in 1981 on the site of the future Mid Rivers Mall. Mid Rivers Mall was finished in 1987 with 2 anchor stores, Dillard's and Famous-Barr, as well as a food court; a 6-screen cinema opened in 1988.[4] The 1990 expansion of Mid Rivers Mall included a new anchor store, Sears. Another expansion of Mid Rivers Mall in 1996 added the final anchor, JCPenney,[5] which moved from nearby Mark Twain Mall in St. Charles.[6] In 1999, Wehrenberg demolished the mall's 6-screen theater and built a new 14-screen megaplex.[7] Upon the acquisition of The May Department Stores Company by Federated Department Stores, Famous-Barr was rebranded Macy's in 2006.[8] In February 2018, the mall began offering relatively inexpensive weekly lease rates so new retail businesses can test use of physical retail space. The initiative drives foot traffic to the mall while potentially bringing in long-term tenants.[9]
