History

Hulen Mall was officially dedicated on the 4th of August 1977,[2][3] designed by HOK[4][5] and developed by The James Rouse Company.[6]

The mall would encompass 580,000 leasable square feet, and 87 stores at opening. [8][2][3]

The mall would exist in its original state until July 1993, when it would undergo a western expansion. [1] Included in the new wing would be a replacement food court and a Dillard's Department Store. The expansion would be dedicated on August 24th, 1994. [6] After the expansion the mall's total retail floor area would grow to a total of 916,700 sq ft.

In 2004, The Rouse Company would be sold to General Growth Properties,with ownership of the property being transferred within the year.

The mall would undergo light cosmetic renovations starting in 2011, with 25,330 square feet of restaurants being added to the eastern facade. Among these new tenants would be Red Robin, Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy & BJ's Brewhouse restaurants dedicated between 2011 and 2013.

On May 5th, 1977, a (200,000 square foot, 3 Story) Sanger-Harris department store would open to the public. It included in store features such as, a Beauty Salon, a Potting Shed restaurant and a Design Studio. It would predate the mall by months. [8]

On March 21st, 2002, the former Montgomery Ward space would be assumed by a Sears Department Store. [16] [8]

On September 9, 2006, Foley's would be re-branded as Macy's, as part of Federated Department Stores acquisition and re-branding of May Department Stores. [17]

On July 11, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide. The store would complete it's liquidation in late august. [18] [16]

On May 11, 2018, a man lit Molotov cocktails inside the Dillard's and Sears department stores in the mall. Although there were no reported injuries or damages, the man ran off and his identity is yet to be discovered and there is no known motive.[19] However, on May 18, the same suspect set off another Molotov cocktail, this time inside Sears again and thanks to the employees efforts to track down the suspect, the Fort Worth Police Department was able to detain the 46-year-old male.[20]
