Alpena Mall

The mall originally featured JCPenney and Kmart, which moved across the street in the late 1990s. The Kmart space is now occupied by Dunham's and Gordon Food Service.^[3] Shoe Dept. opened a store at the mall in 2014.^[4]

In December 2018, the mall was purchased by Molla Investments.^[5]

On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that it would be closing around October 2020 as part of the company's plan to close 154 stores nationwide.^[6] After JCPenney closed, GFS and Dunham's Sports were the only anchor stores left.

In late 2020, I2P purchased the mall and announced plans to redevelop it into a manufacturing center.^[7] Due to this, throughout late 2020 and early 2021, many of the mall's stores relocated to downtown Alpena, bringing the mall's store count from approximately 20 to only 9.^[8]

According to The Alpena News, the mall closed in December 2022.^[9] The mall's huge collection of Christmas trees and decorations was gifted to the Besser Museum, which now uses them in their holiday exhibit.^[9] Despite the closure of the mall interior, Dunham's Sports, Shoe Dept., and Gordon Food Service remain open.
