History
The first anchor stores that opened at Turtle Creek were Dillard's, Gayfers, and Goody's, all of which opened in October 1994. McRae's and JCPenney were added in 1995.[2] By 1999, Turtle Creek was at 100 percent capacity.[3]
The Gayfers anchor was converted into a second McRae's location when Gayfers was bought out by Dillard's in 1998.[4] Both were acquired by Belk in 2006, which consolidated all operations into the former Gayfers anchor in 2010. [5] Goody's closed in 2009 and was converted into Stein Mart in 2011.[6] In 2014, the Garden Ridge anchor store was rebranded into At Home.[7]
On May 31, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing 72 of its stores in the U.S., including its Turtle Creek location, which closed in September 2018.[8]
On August 12, 2020, it was announced that Stein Mart had filed bankruptcy and would be closing all of its stores in the U.S., including its Turtle Creek location.[9] By 2023, the former Stein Mart location was occupied by an Urban Planet clothing store.[10]
