Perspective
Construction of the Parks Mall began in 1985, with constructing ramping up in 1986 with a $21 million building permit for the mall.[2] It officially opened on February 24, 1988.[3]
The mall was developed by Homart Development Company and Herring Marathon. The original anchor stores were Dillard's, Mervyns, and Sears.[4]
In 1989, The Parks was expanded and Houston-based Foley's (now Macy's) was added as the fourth anchor store.[5] Five years later, JCPenney was added as the fifth anchor store.
It expanded again in 2002 with a new wing featuring Galyan's (now Dick's Sporting Goods) and The Great Indoors.[6][7] The Great Indoors closed in 2003[8] and the space was taken over by Steve & Barry's in the mid-2000s.[citation needed]
When Mervyns closed in 2006, it was replaced with several new tenants, including Barnes & Noble, The Cheesecake Factory, and Forever 21.[9]
In 2016, the former Steve and Barry’s got taken over by Round1 Amusement.[10]
On July 11, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide.[11] It was reopened in August 2021 as Sears Hometown Inc.[12] The Sears Hometown closed some time after.
On June 28, 2023, it was announced that a Dick’s House of Sports will replacing the former Sears at the mall. The store is slated to open by June 30, 2026.[13] The space Dick's currently occupies will be converted into one or more tenants by 2030.[14]
