The original anchors of Piedmont Mall were J. C. Penney, Hills, Belk-Leggett, and Globman's,[1] which closed in 1990[3] and was later an auxiliary store for Belk. Sears was later added as a fifth anchor. General Growth Properties bought the mall in 1995.[4]
The Hills store was sold to Ames and closed in 2001.[5] In November 2005, the former Hills/Ames space became the first Boscov's store in Virginia.[6] However, it closed in 2008, as one of 10 unprofitable stores after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[7]
Hull Storey Gibson bought the mall in 2012 after General Growth filed for bankruptcy.[8] Under Hull Storey Gibson's ownership, major renovation plans were announced, and the property was renamed Danville Mall.[9] As part of these renovations, the Belk store was remodeled, and the second Belk was closed.[10] In November 2015, Dunham's Sports opened on the lower level of the former Boscov's store.[11]
On May 3, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 42 stores nationwide. The store closed in August 2018.[12]
On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide, leaving Belk and Dunham's Sports as the only remaining anchor stores.[13]
