Opry Mills is a mega shopping mall owned by Simon Property Group, formerly by its initial owners Mills Corporation and Gaylord Entertainment. It was constructed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1999 on the former site of the Opryland USA theme park. The mall is adjacent to the Grand Ole Opry House and the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
It contains several major stores including Bass Pro Shops, Blacklion, Bed Bath and Beyond, Gibson Bluegass Showcase, Off 5th, and Barnes & Noble.
There is also a large food court, named "Picnic in the Park," that contains Chili's, T.G.I. Friday's, Great Steak and Potato Company, and Sbarro. A Johnny Rockets restaurant is located outside the court.
The General Jackson and Music City Queen showboats, which operate on the Cumberland River, are based just outside Opry Mills.
Other attractions include Regal Opry Mills 20 and IMAX movie theater.
Many stores have failed and subsequently closed since the opening of Opry Mills including:
Hilo Hattie
NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway (closed, reopened as "Checker Flag Lightning", and closed again with the rest of the chain)
Tower Records (due to bankruptcy of the parent company)
Alabama Grill
