History
editTriangle Town Center opened on August 14, 2002[6] with anchors Hudson Belk, Sears, Dillard's, and Hecht's.[7] Construction of the mall required re-routing of existing roads.[8] Saks Fifth Avenue, the state's first, opened later in 2004. The mall features a two-level Barnes & Noble, which serves as a junior anchor.[9]
On July 26, 2008, at approximately 8 pm, a fight broke out on the mall's upper level. The fight involved approximately a dozen teenagers and incited upwards of 150 other teens to act out. The mall was evacuated. The fight lasted about 20 minutes before Raleigh Police and Wake County sheriff's deputies restored order. Raleigh Police say that the incident was gang-related. [10]
On October 10, 2018, a water main broke causing the mall to evacuate and close early. The mall reopened a week later, with some stores closing for several months for renovations, including H&M, Kay Jewelers, and Zales Jewelers. The stores never reopened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2023, local businesses have occupied the former spaces.
On August 6, 2021, it was announced that Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of its traditional brick-and-mortar format.
Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased the mall in November 2021.[2][11][12][13]
