Apple Blossom Mall

The Apple Blossom Mall is 473,103 square feet (43,952.7 m2) and was built in 1982 on the south side of Winchester, Virginia. It has 83 stores including two anchors, JCPenney and Belk (formerly Leggett), with one vacant anchor left by Sears. The shopping mall is 49.1% owned by Simon Property Group and it is managed by Simon.
Simon announced in 2007 a major lifestyle redevelopment at Apple Blossom Mall including the addition of a RC Theatres 16-screen complex on the property. Construction on the theatres was to begin in the spring of 2007 with the opening scheduled for late 2007 or early 2008. This lifestyle center which was to include three lifestyle-type tenants, two big boxes, an additional department store and new restaurants never materialized. There is now the Carmike VI Theater located in the mall.
In mid-2012, mall representatives announced renovation plans for the mall. Among them will be new floors and lighting, a children's play area, and a 12-screen theater to replace the existing theater.
On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. The store closed in February 2020.
