# Albany Mall

Albany Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Albany, Georgia. Opened in 1976, it features Belk, JCPenney, Dillard's, Old Navy, and Books-A-Million as its anchor stores. It is managed by Spinoso Real Estate Group.

## History

The mall opened on August 4, 1976, originally featuring Gayfers (now Dillard's), Belk, Rosenberg's, and Sears as its anchor stores. Aronov Realty received approval in 1987 for a new wing featuring a new anchor store, JCPenney. This store replaced a nearby location at Midtown Shopping Center. The store opened in 1988. Also that year, the Belk store was renovated. Rosenberg's closed in 1990 and became Mansour's a year later.

Old Navy joined the mall in 2000, and Mansour's closed a year later. In April 2004, Books-A-Million relocated into the former Mansour's space, replacing a nearby store on Old Dawson Road. JCPenney was renovated in 2011. Sears closed in 2017. The former Sears anchor store was demolished in 2021.
