History
The mall was built in 1981 by May Centers, a division of The May Department Stores Company. It featured Famous-Barr (now Macy's) and J.C. Penney as its anchor stores, with original tenants including Hallmark Cards, Foot Locker, Kay-Bee Toys, Claire's, Zales Jewelers, GNC, Waldenbooks, and Lerner New York.[2] An 80,000 square foot Venture was added as a third anchor in 1984.[3] Westfield Group bought the mall from May in 1993 and renamed it Westfield Shoppingtown West Park.[4]
The Venture store closed in 1998, the same year in which the mall owners proposed adding a fourth anchor store.[5] The West Park Mall Venture store and another at Kentucky Oaks Mall in nearby Paducah, Kentucky both became Shopko in 1999,[6][7] bringing West Park to 100 percent occupancy for the first time in its history.[8] Shopko closed in 2001.[9]
Old Navy opened in the mall in 2004.[10] A year later, the former Venture and Shopko space became Steve & Barry's.[11] In 2006, Westfield sold the mall to Centro Properties Group, who reverted it to its original name.[12] Barnes & Noble was also added.[13]
Several stores closed in the mall between 2008 and 2010, including Steve & Barry's, Pacific Sunwear, a video arcade, and a restaurant which had been at the mall for 24 years. Despite these vacancies, the mall was 88 percent occupied in 2010, with several of its original stores still in operation.[14] Centro sold the mall to Madison Marquette in mid-2012.[15] It is currently being Leased by CBL http://www.cblproperties.com/pag.nsf/CorpSiteByAlphaWeb/West+Park+Mall?opendocument
