History
It was opened on May 17, 1971 with the original anchors: Macy's, Liberty House, J. C. Penney, Joseph Magnin Co., and Sears. Eastridge was the largest enclosed shopping mall in the West. Emporium-Capwell replaced Liberty House when the chain pulled out of California. After Macy's bought Emporium-Capwell, they shuttered the store. It sat vacant until the 2005 remodel when they demolished the store.
In 2005 a major remodeling brought in an AMC Theatres and outdoor streetscape, with tenants such as Barnes & Noble and Bed Bath & Beyond. Other new stores continue to open inside, as well. The general consensus is that the renovation is a success.
In September 2013, Bed Bath & Beyond announced that it was closing its Eastridge store in January 2014. Eastridge will be adding Round 1 Bowling & Amusement and 24 Hour Fitness in the former Bed Bath & Beyond space. 24 Hour Fitness opened on March 28, 2015 while Round 1 Bowling & Amusement delayed the opening until fall 2015.
On January 15, 2016, a joint venture between Pacific Retail Growth Partners and Silverpeak Real Estate Partners acquired the Eastridge Shopping Mall from General Growth Properties, Inc. The total acquisition price was $200 million. The new owners announced that they will be investing approximately $15 million to upgrade the Mall.
In December 2017, it was announced that Barnes & Noble will close its Eastridge store in January 2018.
