Crossroads Mall is owned and operated by General Growth Properties. GGP has 158 malls in the United States as a real estate investment trust. They provide upscale indoor and outdoor malls for shoppers. The Crossroads Mall is just one in their long list of centers. It is an indoor mall that was built in 1980. The mall has 100 stores with four anchors in a total of 769,801 square feet of space. This mall offers 2 floors and 4006 parking spaces.
When the mall was opened thirty years ago it contained Hudson's, JC Penney, Sears, and Mervyn's as the anchor stores. In 1999 the mall was acquired by GGP and they renovated it a year later to add a better food court. Hudson's changed to Marshall Field's in 2001 before turning into Macy's in 2006. Mervyn's also closed that year bringing Burlington Coat Factory into the mall. Unlike other malls, the Crossroads has not seen a great deal of change over the 30 years it has been open with the stores located inside. It is also considered to be one of the malls with little to no crime issues.
Hours of operation at Crossroads Mall are typical of malls: Monday to Saturday 10am to 9pm, Sunday 12pm to 6pm. Events at the mall will differ yearly, especially the sales events. However, photos with Santa are a very typical event during the Christmas holiday.
