context_page_description: Cape Cod Mall is a shopping mall in the Hyannis village of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The mall opened in 1970 and was renovated and expanded in the late 1990s, bringing the property to 723,605 square feet of gross leasable area. It is currently managed and partially owned by Simon Property Group.
  As of 2020, the mall is anchored by Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's in two locations, Marshalls, and Target. Previous anchors include department stores Filene's, Jordan Marsh, Woolworth's and Sears.
context_section_description: On September 20, 2014, three Afghanistan military officers visiting Camp Edwards went missing from the mall during an event where they were to be introduced to American culture. They were later found trying to enter Canada while asking for asylum near Niagara Falls.
  On August 8, 2017, Ryan Family Amusements announced that they would be opening the Ten Pin Eatery, a joint venture between Ryan Family Amusements and Chapin's Restaurant Group (a local Cape Cod restaurant chain), in the Macy's Men's, Children's, and Home Furnishings store wing. Construction began in the fall of 2017,  the tenant opened on April 23, 2018. It includes a ten-pin bowling alley, a 24-person laser tag center, a full bar and a 50-game arcade.
  On April 4, 2018, The Cape Cod Mall and town of Barnstable released to the Cape Cod Times new renderings of a remodeled section of the mall. This rendering showed the Sears department store and other stores around that area redeveloped into two new department stores at the time named the red tenant (77,450 square feet) and the green tenant (46,050 square feet). The design of red tenant closely resembled the design of a Target store. It was also announced that the Sears Auto Center would be torn down and replaced with 41 new parking spaces.
  On July 10, 2018, Target announced they would be building an estimated 80,000 square foot store in the space occupied by Sears. According to the Target website the store has kids products, basics, appeal, toys, home decor, seasonal items, beach and vacation essentials, and more. The store also has a Starbucks location inside the store. The Target store opened in October 2019. On October 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 12 stores nationwide. The store closed on December 9, 2018. The following month, CVS, the mall's last remaining original tenant, closed its doors (the chain, however, returned inside the mall's Target store).
  In March 2019, mall tenants Five Guys, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Visionworks - all of which are currently located within the wing of the mall formerly anchored by Sears - were announced to be relocated to the west side of the mall where Not Your Average Joe's is currently located, and scheduled to open there by fall (coincidentally, Not Your Average Joe's is currently closed for renovations, and is slated to reopen in late summer.)
  On August 13, 2019, a 46,000 square foot Dick's Sporting Goods store was confirmed to be moving in to the smaller split anchor in the former Sears, next to Target. The Target store opened in October 2019, while the Dick's Sporting Goods opened on August 7, 2020.
