Green Tree Mall - Clarksville, Indiana - Full Service Shopping near the Ohio River

Green Tree Mall is an enclosed regional shopping center that serves both Kentucky and Indiana. It is situated in the town of Clarksville, Indiana on the Lewis and Clark Parkway near the Ohio River, between Jeffersonville and New Albany. This favorable location, just five miles from downtown Louisville, has made the mall a popular destination for shoppers from that city's bedroom communities and the outlying areas.

The original facility was constructed in 1968, and its anchor tenants were JCPenney and Sears on either end. In 1975, a California-based company called Macerich acquired the property and expanded it five years later by 22,000 square feet, including a new main entrance. Macerich is one of America's largest owners, operators and developers of major retail properties with a total gross leasable area of 75 million square feet at 72 centers nationwide.

In 1990, a competitor called River Falls Mall opened nearby, but when Dillard's acquired and absorbed one of its primary tenants, Bacon's, the new mall began to falter and eventually went out of business. In 2005, Dillard's completed a major remodeling and expansion at Green Tree Mall, making it the largest single-level department store in the company's portfolio, with 60,000 square feet of retail floor space.

In 2006, JCPenney followed suit, remodeling and expanding. New shops were also added, including The Children's Place, Hollister, Lenscrafters, Finish Line, PacSun, and Victoria's Secret, among others.

Today, the mall covers 795,382 square feet and retains four anchor tenants, with Burlington Coat Factory joining Sears, JCPenney and Dillard's. It is home to more than 70 stores and restaurants, along with a 10-plex movie theatre, Cinemark Greentree 10, which charges only $1.00 per person for admission to all films.

The mall offers dozens of categories of products in the stores between the anchor tenants. These include apparel and shoes for men, women, teens and infants, eyewear, jewelry, cosmetics and accessories. Also sold are toys, games and hobby supplies, electronics, gifts, cards and books, luggage, music and movies, sporting goods and sports apparel. And there are stores offering nutritional items, pet products, and home and office supplies.

Among salon and day spas here are MasterCuts, Nail Studio, Natural Healthy Way and Regis Salons. There is a branch of Kids Stay U Play, an exclusive child care center where children can be left for up to four hours with slides and tubes, a playhouse with dress up clothes, movies and snack areas. One other recreational site on the premises open only in autumn is the Psychomania Theater of Terror, an abandoned 12,000-square-foot theater, where a large cast of real actors provides Halloween entertainment from September 25 through October 31.

The Green Tree Mall food court offers four shops to choose from: The All American Cafe, Arby's, Subway, and a combination Dairy Queen and Orange Julius. Sit-down restaurants elsewhere in the mall include Applebee's, Fazoli's, and a new branch of Texas Roadhouse. Three specialty food shops are also on the premises: Auntie Anne's, Burger King, and Chinese Gourmet.

The Green Tree Mall Guest Services center is located in Center Court. A representative is available to assist shoppers during all mall hours, from 10am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 6pm on Sundays. The address of the Green Tree Mall is 757 E. Lewis and Clark Parkway, Clarksville, Indiana 47129.
