History

River Ridge Mall opened in 1980 with J. C. Penney, Leggett (now Belk), Miller & Rhoads, Sears, and Thalhimers. Miller & Rhoads closed and became Montgomery Ward in 1990,[2] which closed in 1997 and became Value City in 1999. In 1992, the Thalhimer's store was converted to Hecht's,[3] which in turn became Macy's in 2006. CBL & Associates Properties acquired the mall from Faison in 2003.[4]

Value City closed in 2008 and was demolished for a new movie theater.[5] As a result, the existing theater complex became a Planet Fitness.[6] Jo-Ann Fabrics opened at the mall in November 2012, followed by TJ Maxx in April 2013.[7] Also in 2013, the Sears store closed. It was purchased by Liberty University, who planned to convert to a civic center, but engineers found the site unsuitable.[8] On March 18 2016 it was announced that Liberty University had purchased a 75% ownership position in the mall.
