Park Place Mall

Park Place is a large indoor shopping mall located on the East Side of Tucson, Arizona, United States.
== History ==
Park Place was originally dedicated as Park Mall in May 1975, but was renovated beginning in 1998 and renamed Park Place the following year. The mall is named after Sears Park, which was previously located at the same site and included what was originally a standalone Sears store (which first opened in the fall of 1965), which became the current mall's major anchor (the "Sears Park" linear park site is presently limited to its extreme southern and western portion). The original stores that opened along with Sears were additional anchors The Broadway (became Macy's in 1995), Furr’s Cafeteria, Mann Theatres, and Diamond's (became Dillard's in 1986), as well as 51 other stores, including Lillie Rubin salon, B. Dalton Bookseller, Toys by Roy, Foxmoor Casuals, Waldenbooks, Scholl Foot Comfort, Regal Shoes, Susie’s Casuals, Sunset House Gadget Tree, Chaparral Indian Store & Gift Shop, Woman’s World Shops, Wide World of Music, Gingiss Formalwear, Thom McAn, Spencer Gifts, Just Pants, Bel-Aire Shop, Hanover Shoe, Weaver’s Bed & Bath Fashions, House of Fabrics, Frederick Fisher Jewelers, K-G Men’s Store, Daniel’s Jewelers, The Junior, Inc., Michael’s Buster Brown Shoe Store, Hirsh’s Shoes, Frederick’s of Hollywood, Fashion Conspiracy, Butler’s Shoes, General Nutrition Center, Casual Corner, Weisfield’s Jewelers, Florsheim Shoes, Helzberg Jewelers, Disc Records, American Greetings, Memory Lane Card & Gift Shop, Anita’s Women’s Shop, Naturalizer Shoes, The Nobby Women’s Shop, Petrie’s women’s wear, Rosenzweig Jewelers, Rug Crafters, Zales Jewelers, Kinney Shoes, and 5-7-9. In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Park Place, into Sertiage Growth Properties. The Sears store later closed in 2018 as part of the company's ongoing financial woes, was replaced by a Round1 in 2019. The Macy's store closed in 2020 and currently sits vacant. The electric substation on the premises is named Sears Substation because it was there a decade before the mall was built. From 1970 to 1996 the owner was the mall's original developer, Joseph Kivel.
== Renovation ==
The 1,100,000-square-foot (100,000 m2), $100 million renovation, completed in 2001, was recognized that year as a Reader's Pick for Best Contemporary Architecture in Tucson Weekly's Best of Tucson awards.
The mall features three anchor stores, a food court, a Southwest-themed children's play area, and a cineplex with 20 screens. A number of full-service restaurants are also located on site.
