Northridge Fashion Center is a large shopping mall located in Northridge, Los Angeles, California. It opened in 1971. It was severely damaged during the Northridge earthquake in 1994, but renovated extensively in 1995, 1998, and 2003. It is owned by General Growth Properties. The mall's anchor stores are J. C. Penney, two Macy's locations, Sears, and a Pacific Theatres movie theater.
History
The first store to open at the mall was a Bullock's department store, in September 1971.[2] The Broadway followed in October,[3] and Sears in November;[2] after the rest of the mall opened in 1971, J. C. Penney was added as a fourth anchor in 1972.[4] An expansion was announced in 1985, comprising J. W. Robinson's and May Company California.[5] Both stores were the anchors to two new wings added in 1988.[6] When those two chains merged in 1993, both operated as Robinsons-May.[7]
In January 1994, the mall was damaged by the Northridge earthquake. The earthquake caused damage to the interior mall and all six anchor stores, including the Bullock's store, which was condemned soon afterward.[8] Although The Broadway and Sears reopened in late 1994, renovation was further delayed through mid-1995.[9] By June 1995, J. C. Penney was demolished and rebuilt from the ground up as a result of the earthquake.[10] Bullock's was also rebuilt.[11][12]
Federated Department Stores, then-owners of the Bullock's and Broadway chains, converted the Bullock's to Macy's in 1996 and closed the Broadway.[13] A year later, Robinsons-May consolidated its two stores into the store at the southwest corner of the mall. The Robinsons-May at the northwest end was demolished for a movie theater, while the former Broadway store was also demolished for smaller mall shops.[14] General Growth Properties bought the mall at this point and began construction on the outdoor promenade that replaced the former Broadway. It opened in 1999 with Borders Books & Music and several restaurants.[15] When Macy's acquired Robinsons-May in 2006, the Robinsons-May store became a Macy's Home Store.[16] Borders closed and became Sports Authority in 2011.[17]
