History

Pine Ridge Mall opened in 1981 with The Bon Marché, JCPenney, and ZCMI as anchor stores. An expansion in the 1990s added Sears, which moved from the now-demolished Pocatello Mall, and Shopko.

In 2001, Dillard's acquired four ZCMI stores, including the Pine Ridge Mall location.[1] Dillard's closed in 2008 and was replaced by Herberger's in 2012.[2] In 2005, The Bon Marché was rebranded as Macy's and, in August 2006, was closed.[3] The Macy's building was briefly occupied by Party Palace, before C-A-L Ranch Stores opened in the space in 2014.[4]

In November 2013, General Growth Properties sold the mall to Farmer Holding Co. for $9.05 million.[5] In August 2014, Sears announced that they will be closing their store in the mall in November 2014.[6] A Hobby Lobby store was added to mall in September 2016.[7] On January 31, 2018, The Bon-Ton announced that Herberger's would also be closing in April 2018 as part of a plan to close 42 stores nationwide.[8] Planet Fitness opened in a portion of the vacant Herberger's store in January 2019.[9] On January 17, 2019, it was announced that a charter school would be opening in the former Sears in Summer 2019.[10] On February 6, 2019, Shopko announced that it would be closing as well as part of a plan to close 251 stores nationwide. The store closed in May 2019.[11]
