Built in late 1967 by the Rouse Company, it includes one anchor store: Sears and is also anchored by a 16 screen movie cinema owned by Cinemark.

History

Eastfield Mall opened in 1967 with branches of two local department stores: Forbes & Wallace and Steigers. The third anchor store, Sears remains to this day. Forbes closed in 1975 leaving the mall store vacant. It was sold (the anchor stores are wholly owned by their tenant or proxies) and JCPenney moved in. In 1994, Filene's, whose parent company May Department Stores had bought Steigers, moved into their old space. This store became Macy's in 2006 after May was purchased by Federated Department Stores (Macy's parent company at the time). The 16 screen movie theater was added in 2000 and was initially a Showcase Cinemas. Today the theater is owned by Cinemark.

The addition of a Steve & Barry's clothing store in 2006 put the mall at full occupancy for the first time since 1978. The store displaced nine smaller retail outlets, of which only two relocated within the mall. This store closed in 2008 following the chain's bankruptcy proceedings. In 2009, Hannoush Jewelers opened a showroom in the space vacated by Steve & Barry's. In 2004, the mall implemented a teen escort policy, stating that any customer under the age of 15 must be with an escort after 5:00 PM. The J. C. Penney store was later downgraded to an outlet store, and closed in 2012 when J. C. Penney eliminated its outlet store division.

Macy's announced that it would be closing the Eastfield Mall location in April 2016, which left Sears as the only anchor store.
