Longview Mall

The original anchors of Longview Mall were Sears, Bealls, J. C. Penney, Dillard's, H. J. Wilson Co. (later Service Merchandise), The Martin Twin Theater and Selber Brothers. In 1987, Selber Brothers sold its locations at Longview and Broadway Square Mall to Dillard's, who converted both to separate men's clothing stores.[3]

The Martin Twin was opened May 18, 1978. Each screen had 350 seats. Carmike later operated the theatre as the Mall Twin Cinema until its closing on August 28, 1997. The space is now occupied by Revive Church.[4]

In 2004, Bealls relocated to the former Service Merchandise building, while the original Bealls became a miniature golf course.[5]

Dillard's expanded its original store in 2006, resulting in the closure of the men's wear store in the former Selber Brothers. The expansion made the 143,000 square foot Dillard's the largest one-story location in the chain.[6] The former Selber Brothers space remained vacant until it became L'Patricia in 2012.[7]

In 2016 a $16 million renovation began at Longview Mall adding stores, amenities. BJ's Brewhouse built a new restaurant in the mall parking lot, and On the Border constructed a freestanding restaurant, as well.[8] A Dick's Sporting Goods was constructed (in the original Bealls location), The Bealls has changed to a Stage store.[8]

In Feb 2017 H&M opened its 1st East Texas Store inside the mall. Its is located near the malls main entrance in the space formerly occupied by Piccadilly Cafeteria which closed the mid 1990s.[9]

In March 2018 the mall owner bought the Sears store, for possible redevelopment in the event Sears closes its store.[10]

On November 8, 2018, it was announced that Sears will be closing this location in early 2019 a part of a plan to close 40 stores.[11]
