History
Thunderbird Mall was constructed in 1971 by Gamble Development Co.[1] as Thunderbird Mall. Among its tenants were JCPenney, Kmart, and a Jerry Lewis Cinema theater.[2] Herberger's moved its Virginia location from downtown into the mall in 1977,[3] and closed in 2018.[4] The Kmart closed in 2016.[5]
Rockstep Capital (headquartered in Houston, Texas) acquired the mall from Rubloff Development Group of Rockford, Illinois in 2014[6][7][8]
