Mall Entrance
McCain Mall is the largest enclosed shopping mall by leasable area in the Little Rock metropolitan area, located near Interstate 40 in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The shopping hub was officially dedicated in April 1973, although its primary anchor, Little Rock-based Pfiefer-Blass, had opened for business in late 1972. Among its 96 stores and services were a J.G. McCrory 5 and 10 and McCain Mall Cinema I and II. The shopping center was the largest in the state until an addition was completed as Fort Smith's Central Mall in 1986. McCain Mall is the largest one of two enclosed shopping centers within Central Arkansas, with the other enclosed mall being Park Plaza Mall, located in Little Rock. Anchors are Dillard's, JCPenney, Sears and Regal McCain Mall Stadium 12 & RPX.
Dillard's
Over its 30+ year history, McCain Mall has never been expanded, although renovations were done in 1992 and again in 2011-2012. The former location of M. M. Cohn was demolished in 2012 for a Regal Entertainment Group movie.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off its 235 properties, including the Sears at McCain Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties. The auto center closed in 2017, and a portion of it will become LongHorn Steakhouse on January 22, 2019.
In November 2019, Sears announced that the McCain Mall location will officially close in February 2020.
