NORTHGATE MALL, circa-2014. The complex has just emerged from a major renovation. On the plus side of things, the Convenience Center has been rebuilt and renamed SHOPS AT NORTHGATE and Old Navy operates in the former Eckerd. On the minus end, J.C. Penney has just pulled up stakes.


The mall's high-end '70s mod Penney's, which went dark in May 2014, now sits forlorn, awaiting some type of repurpose.

Although several sources indicate that the NORTHGATE Sears was a mall anchor since 1972, our research shows that said store did not open for business until February 1974. Anyway, Sears closed for good in February 2019.
