Description
Prior to its temporary 2010–2012 closure, Opry Mills was a single level mall that contained over 200 stores (although no department stores), including Bass Pro Shops, Blacklion, Bed Bath & Beyond, Gibson Showcase, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, and Barnes & Noble. There is also a large food court that contains Which Wich, Chili's Too, T.G.I. Friday's, Burger King, and Villa Pizza. Johnny Rockets, Tony Roma's, Rainforest Cafe, Dave & Busters, Aquarium Restaurant and Romano's Macaroni Grill restaurants are located outside the court.
The General Jackson and Music City Queen showboats, which operate on the Cumberland River, are docked just outside Opry Mills.

Closure due to flooding
Flood waters from the 2010 Tennessee floods in early May reportedly reached as high as 10 feet inside the mall, and forced the closure of the facility temporarily. The entire property was remediated. In September 2010, restoration work was halted while litigation over insurance claims played out in court, and many of the mall's retailers sought locations elsewhere in the area, either permanently or until the mall is restored and reopened. The initial reopening date was set for August 2011, but that self-imposed deadline was not met due to the litigation. There was speculation that Simon Malls may not reopen the mall at all, due to Simon Malls' choice to stop renovations to the mall during litigation. Simon Malls denied that it had plans to close the mall permanently.
The Bass Pro Shops store reopened October 14, 2010, separate from the rest of the mall. On November 14, 2011, Regal Cinema's Opry Mills Stadium 20 IMAX & RPX movie theater reopened. On November 18, 2011, Sun & Ski Sports reopened. On November 23, 2011, VF Outlet reopened. On November 28, 2011, Dave & Busters reopened.
On April 12, 2011, mall officials announced that a financing deal had been reached to resume reconstruction of Opry Mills, and the mall reopened on March 29, 2012, after two years of repairs, with some of the anchor retailers opening sooner. The property was given a facelift during the remediation, and featured a new logo upon its reopening.
