Summit Mall

DeBartolo Corporation developed Summit Mall. First announced in 1963, the mall opened to the public in 1965. The original anchor stores were Cleveland, Ohio-based Halle Brothers Co. and two other department stores both based in Akron: O'Neil's and Polsky's. Other major tenants included Woolworth, Kroger, and Acme Markets.^[5] In November of 1978 it was announced that Polsky's would be closing by December 30, 1978.^[6]

After Halle's 1982 shutdown, their location was transferred to Higbee's, which operated the store until it was taken over by Dillard's in late 1992. It was a full-line location (without housewares) until 1998 when the men's department relocated to the top floor of the former Polsky's / Jewel Mart space. After Polsky's closed, Jewel Mart occupied the main floor level.^{[citation needed]} In July 1986, a Dallas businessman proposed opening a laser tag facility in the basement of the former Polsky's.^[7] In July 1989, National Theatre Corporation (now Regal Entertainment Group) closed the two-screen theater at the mall when General Cinemas opened up a new theater at West Market Plaza.^[8] O'Neil's became May Company Ohio by the end of 1989.^{[citation needed]} By July 1990, Rizzi's Ristorante and Pizzeria and Charlotte's West occupied the space on the half-vacant lower level.^[9] Jewel Mart was gone by 1991 and the top floor remained vacant until Dillard's expanded their store to occupy both levels.^{[citation needed]} May Company then turned to Kaufmann's in 1993.^{[citation needed]}

Rizzi's and Charlotte's West were both gone by 2004, giving Dillard's the opportunity to renovate both floors as a Dillard's Women's store.^{[citation needed]} May Company became Macy's in 2006.^{[citation needed]} In January 2013, Williams-Sonoma announced it would close its location in the mall.^[10] In January 2017, Ann Taylor also closed at the mall.^[11]
