Independence Center: Independence Center is a 1,032,000 sqft super-regional shopping mall located in Independence, Missouri.  The mall opened in 1974.  Its three department stores were Macy's, Sears and Stix, Baer & Fuller's.  The mall featured a unique three-level, 60 ft central atrium, with a series of ramps and stair risers traversing the expanse of open space.  In the center of the atrium, on the lowest floor, was a food court.  When it first opened and for many years afterward, the mall's advertising carried the memorable slogan "Independence Center: The "I" has it."  Independence Center even featured an enormous flashing advertising marquee which stood along I-70.  Independence Center was built by Homart, a division of Sears Roebuck & Co.  It was later acquired, owned and managed by Chicago-based LaSalle.  The mall saw its first cosmetic renovation in the mid-1980s.  Stix Baer & Fuller was replaced by Dillard's in 1984.  In 1985, after Dillard's acquired Macy's midwest stores, it sold the Independence Center location to Mercantile Stores, then the parent company of The Jones Store Co. In 1994, Independence Center was purchased by Simon Property Group.  In 1996, the mall added a two-story carousel in the atrium; and in 1998, the mall underwent a massive $20 million renovation, which improved the property's aesthetics and vertical transportation, and also improved the food court.  Also in 1998, a large children's play area was added.  In 2004, Independence Center saw another renovation, which added small shop space on the outside of the mall facing 39th Street.  In 2006 Macy's returned to its original location in the mall after the Federated-May department stores merger, which resulted in all Kansas City area Jones Store locations being converted to Macy's stores.

Landover Mall: Landover Mall was a large shopping mall located in Landover, Maryland, directly across from FedExField, off MD 202 and Interstates 95 and 495.  The mall was built by Sonny Abramson and Ted Lerner of Lerner Enterprises, and opened in 1972.  Like its neighbor Capital Plaza Mall, it was a major attraction through its opening years in Prince George's County.  The mall featured many anchors and smaller tenants; however, upon the decline and closing of its major anchors, the mall itself entered a state of decline.  Also, the fact that the location of Landover Mall is a very high crime area was a contributing factor to the decline and eventual closure.  Finally, in 2002, the mall's doors were closed and it ultimately was demolished in 2006.  Sears remained open because it owned the land beneath the store.  Sears later sold the land underneath its store to Lerner.  In January 2014 Sears announced that it would close in March.

Eastern Hills Mall: Eastern Hills Mall is a shopping mall located at the western border of the Town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, United States.  It lies on Transit Road (New York State Route 78, a 73.49-mile state highway), which in the vicinity of the mall, divides Clarence, New York from the town of Amherst, New York east of (Buffalo, New York).  The mall is north of the junction of NY-78 with NY-5, and Main Street.  The name "Eastern Hills" refers to the very low hills that contribute to a slightly higher elevation than the bordering areas along the Onondaga Escarpment.  Eastern Hills Mall is part of a long commercial strip on Transit Road.  It consists of two long wings running north and south and one short wing running east and west, which connects the north-south wings in a "double L-shaped" formation.  A major department store is at the end of each wing.  A food court is located adjacent to the end of the long south wing.  A three-screen movie theater showing mainly independent films is also located in the mall, as well as a small New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office.  Surrounding the mall is a large, but generally unkept, parking lot.  The ratio of the mall is so large, it provides the highest parking ratio of any Buffalo area mall.  Much of the parking lot space is leased to area car dealerships to store overstock vehicles due to the low volume of shoppers at the mall.  Eastern Hills Mall is currently at approximately 70% occupancy, with many vacant stores throughout the mall and popular anchor store Dave & Busters shuttering its doors in 2015 to move to the nearby Walden Galleria.  Eastern Hills is considered by many area residents to be a "dead mall" and is listed on the website Deadmalls.com.  Most major and nationally recognized retailers have left and been replaced by independently owned "mom-and-pop" type stores, selling crafts and homemade goods.  It is common for retailers to open and close within their first few months, unable to turn a profit due to the low volume of shoppers that still visit Eastern Hills Mall.

Lakeside is a 967000 sqft mall with three major retail anchors (Dillard's, Macy's and J. C. Penney).  There are also more than 120 stores and restaurants.  Lakeside once operated a 5-screen movie theater in a satellite complex near Dillard's but competition from newer stadium style theaters forced its closure and its eventual demolition for additional satellite retail space in 2000.  The smaller Clearview Mall, a property opened in 1966 and located about 2 mi to the West on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, had never operated a movie theater on its property since its opening.

The mall is also notable in that it had granted naming rights to interested companies, and was one of the first malls in the United States to do so.  The Mills Corporation, the original owner of the mall, had granted the naming rights to Discover Card, and thus originally given the name "Discover Mills" as well as the tag line "Where Discover Card Is The Smart Choice".  Simon Property Group is the current owner of Discover Mills from the Mills Corporation's acquisition.  In October 2012, the 10-year naming rights with Discover Card ended, and the mall was renamed "Sugarloaf Mills," which was the mall's planned name when it was first developed in the late 1990s and named after the parkway the mall is located.
