Quail Springs Mall is a super-regional shopping mall and trade area located in far northern Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which opened on October 23, 1980. It contains three major department store anchors (originally had four anchor stores until 2016), a 24-screen AMC Theatre, Round One Entertainment, Blue Zoo Aquarium, and a total of 111 tenants comprising a total of approximately 1,115,000 square feet of gross leasable area. The mall is the focal point of a large area of recent residential and commercial development, and is located very close to one of Oklahoma City's most notoriously congested and difficult intersections which includes West Memorial Road, North Pennsylvania Avenue and The Kilpatrick Turnpike.
Architect William Pereira designed the original building. The mall itself was built by DayJay Associates, a joint venture of JCPenney and The Center Companies, a division of the Dayton-Hudson Corporation (now Target Corporation).[2] The mall underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation during 1998 that brought several exterior updates, completely redesigned the mall's interior style into an Oklahoma prairie theme, updated the lower-level food court to a 1950s drive-in design, plus added the 24-screen AMC Theatre adjacent to the food court.
The mall's main anchors are Life Time Fitness, JCPenney, AMC Theatres, Round One Entertainment, Blue Zoo Aquarium, Von Maur, and Dillard's. Former anchors include Sears and Macy's (formerly Foley's). In late 2013 it was announced that Sears would be closing in early 2014 and Von Maur would be taking their place, in summer 2014 the store building was totally gutted to the structural frame and a brand-new interior-exterior installed, Von Maur opened in early 2015. In late 2015, it was announced that Macy's would close by February 2016 as part of the company's cut back and closing unprofitable store locations. In January 2017, it was announced that the former Macy's store building would be demolished and that Life Time Fitness would build a huge free standing 181,400-sq.-ft. complex in the former Macy's parking lot and the former store building spot would become a new parking lot for Life Time Fitness and the mall.[3] Life Time Fitness opened in October 2018, the former Macy's store upper-level mall entrance is now just another direct entrance into the mall itself (along with the original direct mall entrance just Twenty feet away.) the ground floor-level of the former Macy's Store was totally gutted and filled in for the new parking lot.[4]
