Story

Selma Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Selma, Alabama. The mall's anchor stores are Belk, Goody's, and Citi Trends. The mall opened in 1971 with Sears, Britt's (a division of J.J. Newberry) and S.H. Kress as its major stores. By the 1990s, Kress had become McCrory Stores, and Beall-Ladymon had joined as a central anchor.Sears closed in 1993 and became McRae's (now part of Belk) three years later. Goody's, which replaced the former Beall-Ladymon, reopened in 2011 after closing in 2008. Steele's was added in 2011 as another anchor. In January 2014, JCPenney announced the pending closure of its Selma Mall store.
