The Mall at Tuttle Crossing

The Mall at Tuttle Crossing is an enclosed mall located in Dublin, Ohio. It was developed by a joint venture of Taubman Centers and The Georgetown Company and opened on July 24, 1997. Current anchors are JCPenney, Macy’s, and Scene75, with Sears being vacant.
== History ==
The Mall at Tuttle Crossing opened on July 24, 1997 with great fanfare. Sears, Lazarus, Marshall Field's, and JCPenney also opened as anchor stores. Apart from tenants, which at opening had 128, Tuttle Crossing also had a unique play area with oversized breakfast food, that would later be remodeled into a space-themed area. In May 2017, the play area was completely redesigned with more interactive elements, going for a "STEM" theme. 
Another attraction the mall had was a kugel ball, connected to a water fountain where coins were tossed in. This has since been removed due to it being hard to maintain. 
In August 2006, Lazarus was turned into Macy's, and the original Marshall Field's became Kaufmann's in February 2003. In 2006, due to the Federated-May merger, the Kaufmann's store was renamed Macy's at Hayden Run. As of October 2006 there were two Macy's located at the mall, Macy's at Tuttle Crossing (the original Lazarus store) and Macy's at Hayden Run (the former Marshall Field's/Kaufmann's) until March 2017. On January 4, 2017, Macy's announced it would be closing the Macy's at Hayden Run sometime during the same year. In early summer 2018, Scene75 Entertainment announced they would open a location in the former Marshall Field's/Kaufmann's/Macy's at Hayden Run. The location opened in October 2019.
In 2017, Forever 21 had an expansion that nearly doubled the size of the existing store on the second level of the mall, from 6,758 square feet to 11,258 square feet.
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed on March 18, 2019. On the same note, a Sears Auto Center just west of the mall was closed a few years prior and is now a strip mall. Also around the same time as Sears' closure announcement, Starbucks also announced a store closure at the mall. That store closed sometime in January 2019. 
== Description and Location ==
The mall itself anchors an economically strong and growing area of office complexes, restaurants, apartments and condominiums surrounding the interchange of I-270 and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard. The area is a good example of the suburban phenomenon known as an edge city.

== Trivia ==
* The former Yankee Candle location was the first store in Ohio. There are now at least 15 locations in the state as of 2022.
* The mall started its planning stages as early as 1993.
* The former Learningsmith (which went defunct in 1999) store was the only location in Ohio. 
* Cinnabon was originally in the mall as an actual tenant space. It left the mall for a couple of years until it returned as a kiosk stand in late 2019.
* The former Canyon Cafe restaurant might've been the earliest known closure at the mall. Curiously, the brick structure entrance still stands from that space.
* It's a possibility the "Copper Creek Grill" restaurant that sat in the Red Robin/Ruby Tuesday space was local, particularly due to the fact it shares the same name as Copper Creek Drive, a small neighborhood west of the mall.
