Both Macy's stores received a much needed makeover, including new fixtures, fresh paint, and new carpet.įor-All Bible announced in December 2015 that they would be moving to a new location out of the mall. In October 2015, Macy's moved the children's department to the men's store and men's moved over to the women's store. Joplin High School used the building as a temporary school until May 2014. That work was completed by late September 2015. In August 2015, mall management announced that the former Venture was being converted back to retail use. In the summer of 2014, a soft play area for children was added in the Macy's women's court. As a result, the original Old Navy became Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Tilt opened a larger location near Vintage Stock, and Ulta Beauty opened a store off the food court. In 2012, Old Navy moved into a space formerly occupied by Tilt Studios. In 2006, the mall received its first major renovation in nearly 20 years, changing the color scheme, adding all new lighting and floor tiles, and renovating the food court to a route 66 theme. Montgomery Ward remained vacant until mid-2007, when its space was split between TJ Maxx and Steve & Barry's, the latter of which closed in 2008 and was replaced by Vintage Stock. Both Famous-Barr locations were rebranded as Macy's in 2006. After the closure of the Venture chain in 1998, its anchor at the mall was converted to Shopko, but it closed in the early 2000s following the closure of Montgomery Ward in 2001. In 1998, the mall received a minor renovation, changing only the color scheme. That same year, Sears built a store adjacent to Montgomery Ward, moving from an older store near downtown Joplin. In 1994, Heer's closed, and Famous-Barr moved its men's wear and home goods to the former Heer's space.
The renovation also brought a food court as well as a new five screen cinema. This new wing included two new anchors, Famous-Barr and Venture. The new wing extended easterly from the JCPenney store. Newman's became Heer's in 1987, the same year that a new wing was built, and the mall received its first renovation. Other stores included Walgreens, McCrory's, Ramsay's Department Store, For All Bible (which moved out in 2016, and permanently closed the next year), Wyatt's cafeteria, as well as many other stores. At the time, the mall was anchored by Montgomery Ward to the north, JCPenney to the south, and local chain Newman's at the middle. Northpark Mall opened in 1972, on Range Line Road on the east side of Joplin. There are three vacant anchor stores that were once two Macy's stores and Sears. The anchor stores are Vintage Stock, TJ Maxx, H&M, JCPenney, and Dunham's Sports. Northpark Mall is managed by CBL & Associates Properties. The mall was also the temporary home of the 11th and 12th grades of Joplin High School until August 2014, when the new high school was completed. Freeman hospital added a soft play area in the Macy's women's court in the summer of 2014.
Northpark Mall is the largest mall in the Joplin region and serves a trade area of nearly 500,000 people. Today, the Northpark mall is 1,080,000 square feet, and features more than 100 inline tenants including a food court. The mall opened in 1972 with 600,000 square feet, and featured 60 stores, restaurants, and other services. Northpark Mall is a super regional mall located in Joplin, Missouri.
