Eureka South Mall (Ohio) 2006

The Eureka South Mall, opened in 1967 in Eureka, Ohio, originally featured stores such as Higbee's, Sears, and Joseph Horne's Company. In the 1970s, the mall saw a decrease in the use of anchor spaces, May Company were added to fill the retail vacancies. In the 1980s, JCPenney was added as the third anchor in 1981, but retail sales began to decline. In the 1990s, Higbee’s closed in 1992 and was rebranded as Dillard's. In 1993, May Company also closed and became Kaufmann's, although low sales led to an upgrade of the business center. In 1994, Horne's closed and was replaced by Lazarus, which later became Lazarus Clearance Center. By the 2000s, the mall began to decline, with many stores vacating. In 2003, Lazarus Clearance Center closed and the building was demolished. In 2005, JCPenney was downgraded to an outlet store, and Dillard’s became a Clearance Center. In 2006, Kaufmann’s closed and was rebranded as Macy’s. Then mall is still open for declines.
