Layout
The original design of the mall was a single-level with anchor stores (Gayfer's and Montgomery Ward) on each end of the primary corridor. A food court was added along with a 3rd anchor store, Parisian in 1985. An addition to the mall was completed in November 1994 when J.C. Penney relocated to the mall from its previous Columbus Square Mall location. An oddity of this expansion was that to reach the addition from the existing mall, one must walk through Dillard's (formerly Gayfer's).
Closing
On April 16, 2009 General Growth Properties, the owners of Peachtree Mall, announced it will close the location in Columbus on Friday April 17th. This will leave over 250 employees out work.
