Macon Mall is a two level, 1.1 million square foot shopping mall located in Macon, Georgia. The mall features Macy's, and Burlington, as its anchor stores, as well as a food court. It has a vacancy rate of over 70% and rising.HistoryThe mall opened in 1975 as a 1.08 million square foot shopping mall anchored by Davison's, Belk, JCPenney, and Sears. A Woolworth was added later which went bankrupt and today sits as the upstairs food court. The opening of Macon Mall led to the demise of Macon and Georgia's first enclosed mall, Westgate Mall down the street. At opening date the mall was filled with hundreds of light bulbs in a disco-style theme. This appearance quickly became dated and was expensive to maintain, leading to the mall's first renovation in 1983. The food court was added in 1986 and Davison's changed over to Macy's, when Macy's decided to rename all of their stores at the time under the same name.
