Irving Mall is an enclosed American shopping mall located in Irving, Texas, at the intersection of Texas State Highway 183 (Airport Freeway) and Belt Line Road. It has over 80 stores, including four anchor tenants , and a food court.

It is under ownership of Washington Prime Group, which has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 13, 2021.

History

The mall opened with Titche-Goettinger, JCPenney, and Sears. JCPenney was closed as part of 44 underperforming stores and closed in 2001.

The mall received a renovation in 1984 adding the west wing of the mall along with two new anchors, Dillard's and Mervyn's and a new food court. The General Cinema, which opened in 1971 would later expand to 7 screens in the same year.

In 1999, General Cinema moved to a spot where a former Wilson's Catalog Showroom used to be. In the same year, as part of Irving Mall's redevelopment, Barnes & Noble also opened in the former General Cinema 1–3. Barnes & Noble closed in 2012, and is now a Shoppers World.

In 2002, AMC took over the former General Cinema at the mall, it was renovated in 2013.

Current anchors include Macy's, Dillard's Clearance Center, Burlington Coat Factory, and La Vida Fashion and Home Decor.

In May 28, 2014, Irving Mall was spun off by Simon Property Group to Washington Prime Group. The mall transfer would complete by 2016.

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Irving Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.

On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The store closed in early January and currently sits vacant.

Shootings

Multiple shootings have occurred at Irving Mall since 1990.

In 1990, a man named Eddie Edwards chased his girlfriend in the parking lot and shot her with a .38 caliber revolver. Another man, Tom Broom, stopped Edwards by shooting him in the head twice with a .44 caliber Magnum pistol, killing him.

In 1993, a conflict at the mall between two gangs escalated to one person shooting two others, killing an innocent bystander, Kevin Reuss Bacon.

On September 4, 2022, shots were fired at the mall when Arlington rapper Ssg Splurge was walking out the exit with a baby car seat and a rival approached him and threw a couple of punches. Splurge proceeded to drop the car seat and start shooting at the aggressor; this led to temporary panic. No one was struck by the gunfire.
