## History

[edit]

The first store to open at the mall was a Sears department store, which opened on September 29, 1966.[6] The rest of the mall opened for business in 1968, including JCPenney and a Danners dime store[7] Prentice sold the mall in 1977 to Macerich. JCPenney and Sears remain at their original locations and Dillard's anchors the back annex.

The first Texas Roadhouse opened in 1993 and continues to operate today.[8] Ben Snyder's department store was an original anchor. When Hess's purchased the Ben Snyder's chain, the company built a new store instead, and the former Ben Snyder's location became a food court. Hess's store is now Dillard's. The food court proved unsuccessful and was later known as Tumble Station before becoming a martial arts school in 2016.[9]

Macerich sold the mall in June 2013 to CBL Properties.[10] It was sold again to Centennial Realty in 2021.[11] It was sold again in 2023 to Namdar realty according to Www.greentreemall.com.

On July 7, 2017, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 43 stores nationwide. The store closed in October 2017.[12]

### Community involvement

[edit]

Green Tree Mall plays host to Club Mom, a children's entertainment event, on the first Tuesday of every month. In addition to its club event, the mall has Kids Day, which is similar to a large Club Mom.

In 2007, the mall was set to host the first Kentucky Derby Festival event in Indiana with the U.S. Bank Derby Festival Great Balloonfest, but it was canceled due to poor weather.[13][14]
