The developers of a new $100 million Jonesboro mall announced more than
50 tenants for the project Wednesday, including American Eagle, Ann
Taylor Loft, Coldwater Creek, Finish Line and Victoria’s Secret.
The Mall at Turtle Creek already had announced that Dillard’s, J.C. Penney
and Target will anchor the development. It will have some 750,000 square
feet of retail space and more than 100 tenants, according to a news release. It
will be an enclosed mall that has a "Main Street" feel, the release said. Plans
for the mall were first announced publicly in March 2004.
Penney and Target are already open, according to a spokesman for
Jonesboro-based MBC Holdings, which is developing the mall with David
Hocker & Associates of Owensboro, Ky.
A spokesman for the International Council of Shopping Centers said the
Jonesboro project is one of a few large-scale mall projects in the country
expected to open in 2006. The grand opening for the project will be March
29.
