Stones River Mall is an enclosed regional shopping mall in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA. Built in 1992, it was expanded and renovated in 2008. The mall comprises more than fifty stores, including Dillard's, JCPenney, Sears and Electronic Express as anchor stores, as well as a food court.[2] The mall is managed by Sterling organization. The food court closed in 2017 to make room for a brand new dine in theatre.

History

The mall was first built in 1989, but it sat vacant and was foreclosed on due to the bankruptcy of its original developer. Despite this, both Walmart and Goody's were opened at that point, followed by Sears and Carmike Cinemas in 1990. The mall officially opened for business in 1992, under the ownership of Stones River Real Estate and Aronov Realty.[3]

Walmart moved out of the mall in 1995, with the old location becoming the thirteenth location of local department store Castner Knott a year later.[4] J. C. Penney joined in 1997,[5] and Dillard's acquired the Castner Knott chain a year afterward.

Between 2006 and 2008, the mall underwent renovation which included the demolition of the existing JCPenney and Dillard's stores, as well as the former food court wing. The former Dillard's was demolished for an outdoor concourse, while JCPenney became a new food court.[6][7] JCPenney opened its new store in 2006 and Dillard's in 2007. Books-A-Million was also added as a junior anchor, while Goody's closed in 2009.

Sterling Organization bought the mall in 2015.[8][9]
