[edit] History

Turfland Mall opened in August 1967 as the first enclosed mall in Lexington;^[1] its original anchor stores included Montgomery Ward, Grant City and McAlpin's. Grant City closed in 1976 and was replaced by JCPenney the same year; JCPenney operated in the space until it moved to nearby Fayette Mall in 1993.

In 1997, Rubloff Development Group of Hoffman Estates, Illinois acquired the mall and began $5 million worth of renovations.^[1] A year later, the parent company of McAlpin's was acquired by Dillard's, who converted all locations to the Dillard's name; Dillard's later moved its home goods department into the former JCPenney space.^[1] Montgomery Ward was shuttered in 2001, with its space soon being converted to The Home Depot.

Dillard's and Dillard's Home stores at Turfland Mall will close sometime around mid April.
