[edit] History
The mall opened for business on May 16, 1991.[2] Zamias Services, Inc. developed the property.[3] Three of the anchor stores (Belk, J.C. Penney and Sears) moved from an existing mall called Rock Hill Mall, which closed in the early 1990s after losing those stores;[4] the other anchors at the Galleria included Phar-Mor and Walmart.[5] The former closed after only one year in business,[6] and was replaced with a Brendle's catalog showroom in October 1995,[7] but the store closed after only six months in business following the chain's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[8] The space remained vacant until 2004, when it was replaced by Steve & Barry's.[9] Goody's Family Clothing was added as an anchor in 1998, having been delayed from an initial opening date of November 1997.[10] These stores closed in 2008 and 2009, respectively, following the respective bankruptcy of each chain.
