Cherryland Center

Cherryland Center was an outdoor shopping mall in Traverse City, Michigan.
It opened in 1976 as an enclosed mall and was renovated as an outdoor property in 1999. The center's anchor stores are Big Lots, Kmart, Sears, and Younkers.
==History==
In April 1976, the first tenants for Cherryland Mall were confirmed: a Kmart discount store, a Kroger supermarket and a branch of Michigan National Bank. Kmart opened in November 1976 followed by Kroger in December.
During that same month, H. C. Prange Co. (now Younkers) and Sears had been confirmed as the other anchors. The Sears store replaced a catalog merchant located downtown.
By late 1977, the rest of the mall was opened. Peripheral development the same year included two smaller strip malls and a Zantigo fast food restaurant.
In 1998, plans were announced to demolish the interior mall portion while leaving all four anchors intact.
Under these plans, the Sears and Younkers stores would also be expanded. As part of this renovation, Sears expanded its store into the western third of the mall in 1999.
When renovation was complete, the center was converted to an outdoor mall. The mall was foreclosed on by Wells Fargo in 2010; also, Tom's Food Market (which had taken over the supermarket space in 1986) closed.
In June 2011, the space became Big Lots.
