History

Opened on August 2, 1971, RiverGate mall became the largest mall in the state of Tennessee until 1978. The mall originally included three anchor stores: JCPenney, Cain-Sloan, and Castner Knott.[1] A wing featuring Sears, dozens of new parcels, and a food court was added in 1989. Linens 'n Things arrived in 2003.[2] This store closed in 2008 and became SmartBuys in 2009. Incredible Dave's, a restaurant and entertainment center, replaced a mall wing in 2012,[3] but closed in 2014.
