History

The mall was in planning as early as 1972, when the Logan City Commission refused to rezone land for the mall, leading to the developers bringing a lawsuit against the commission.[1][2] Plans re-emerged in 1974, with developers John Price Associates announcing it as a 300,000 square foot mall to include 3 department store anchors, a supermarket, a bank, and "dozens" of small businesses, with an opening date sometime in 1976.[3] Construction had begun by 1975, with anchors JCPenney, ZCMI, and Ernst-Malmo (later specified as Ernst Home Center) announced at this time.[4] An opening of late July 1976 was announced by February that year, with additional tenants including Logan Savings and Loan, Karmelkorn, Kinney Shoes, and J.B.'s Big Boy.[5] A 14-year-old girl was shot in the chest on the mall property on July 19, 1976, before recovering.[6]

The Ernst Home Center opened for business before the mall on July 20, 1976.[7] The mall proper opened on July 29, 1976, with anchors Ernst Home Center (37,000 sq ft), ZCMI (61,000 sq ft), and JCPenney (47,000 sq ft) along with a supermarket, a drug store, a First Security Bank, and an outparcel 3-screen Mann Theatre.[8][9] In 1988, the Bon Marche (formerly Ernst Home Center) at the mall was bought by and converted to Lamonts.[10] The Cache Valley 3 Theatre was converted to a Carmike Cinemas in 1995.[8] ZCMI was sold to The May Department Stores Company in 1999, with the store at the mall being sold to Dillard's in 2001.[11] Lamonts closed in 2000, and later became a Dillard's Home Store. The Cache Valley 3 Theatre was converted to its final operator, Westates Theatres, in February 2002, before closing on October 18, 2007.[8]

In January 2013 it was announced that both Dillard's locations would close, citing under-performance.[12] Herberger's opened at the mall in early 2014, their first location in Utah, in the former Dillard's space.[13] C-A-L Ranch opened at the mall in the former Dillard's Home Store space in 2015.[14] The mall was sold from Rouse Properties to Namdar Realty Group in December 2017.[15] Herberger's closed at the mall in 2018, in a round of 42 store closures prior to bankruptcy later that year.[16] In 2019, the former Cache Valley Mall 3 Theatres building underwent heavy renovations to become two restaurants and an event center, with a projected opening date of Spring 2020.[17] On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that it would be closing in October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide which will leave C-A-L Ranch as the only anchor left.[18]
