Encyclopedia
Greenbrier Mall is a nearly 900,000 sq. ft. regional mall in Chesapeake, Virginia
, in the Hampton Roads
metropolitan area. The mall has a hillside terrain, meaning entries exist on both upper and lower levels. It serves communities on the east coast in the states of Virginia and North Carolina.
The mall currently has over 120 retailers, four anchors (JCPenney, Macy's
, Sears and Dillard's
), several eateries at the mall's food court, several restaurants including Abuelo's, Jillian's
, The Greene Turtle, and a Cinema Café dinner movie theater.
Dillard's
, which previously occupied both the north and east anchor locations in the mall, consolidated both stores to the east end with a 160000 square feet (14,864.5 m²) reconstruction. In addition, the mall received a new color scheme and its current "G" mall logo. A new anchor tenant JCPenney was expected to take over the vacated north anchor space.
In April 2004, during the renovation, CBL & Associates acquired the mall from Gregory Greenfield & Associates, Ltd. for $102.5 million. A year later, the new JCPenney department store was completed, and officially opened at the north end of the mall.
