College Square is an indoor regional shopping mall located in Morristown, Tennessee.
College Square is owned and managed by CBL & Associates.[1] It features approximately 70 stores and restaurants including Carmike College Square Cinemas 12.[2]
Opened in 1988, College Square is the only shopping mall in an eight-county area of East Tennessee. The mall was originally anchored by Maryville-based Proffitt's (a regional department store), Wal-Mart, J. C. Penney, Sears, and Goody's Family Clothing (a regional discount junior department store). Wal-Mart has relocated outside the mall, with Belk taking part of its space, including an outside and mall entrance. A regionally based chain of pottery stores, Dixie Pottery, had a location adjacent to Belk. The store, which had no mall entrance, closed in 2007. The Proffitt's location closed after the chain was bought out by Belk; College Square had been the only mall in the region with locations of both Proffitt's and Belk.[3] In 2007, Kohl's moved into the Proffitt's space after expanding the building into a former parking lot. In 2008, a new twelve-screen Carmike Cinema was built over a large portion of the southern parking lot. The former theater was demolished. In addition, the Goody's Family Clothing store in the mall closed in 2009 with the bankruptcy of the retail chain, and then returned on March 17, 2011, within its former space. Sears closed in 2013. TJ Maxx went into half of the old Sears store along with Longhorn Steakhouse. On January 12, 2016, J. C. Penney announced it was closing in spring 2016. Dick's Sporting Goods will re-tool the space and open by the holiday season 2016.[4]
