History

The Cape Cod Mall was proposed in the late 1960s as a super-regional retail center for Barnstable County, due in part to rapid population growth. Before the mall was built, a Storyland theme park resided in its location. In the summer of 1970, the mall was opened to the public, with an initial capacity of approximately 50 stores (30-40 were occupied at the time), and was anchored by Sears, Filene's and Woolworth's, all of which formerly had locations in downtown Hyannis on Main Street. Today, the only remaining original tenants are Sears, CVS and the mall barbershop.

Behind the mall were two movie theaters, with two screens each. In 1977, Filene's was expanded to 2 levels (notable for being the first location on Cape Cod with escalators). The following year, a new wing was added on the south side of the mall, with 25 additional stores and a fourth anchor, Jordan Marsh. The mall remained basically the same for the next two decades, with a small food court added and an interior renovation completed in the mid 1980s. In 1993, Woolworth's, which by that time was experiencing financial problems, announced their plans to close the mall store, and had vacated by early 1994. In 1996, Jordan Marsh was re-named Macy's after Federated Department Stores merged the chains.

Acquisition by Simon

The mall's largest renovation began in 1998, the same year that Simon acquired the mall.cite web |url=http://www.barnstablepatriot.com/03-04-99-news/mall.html |title=Mall redo includes new ownership |accessdate=2007-07-30 |last=Pratt |first=David |authorlink=David Pratt |coauthors= |year=1999 |format=html |publisher=Barnstable Patriot] An additional wing was built, extending through and beyond the shuttered Woolworth space. This expansion brought 40 new stores, as well as anchor stores Best Buy, Marshalls (which formerly had a store behind the mall) and a 2 story Barnes and Noble (which formerly had a smaller store in the K-Mart plaza directly across the street). A larger food court, with over 10 vendors, seating for apx. 500 people, central cathedral skylight and a carousel, was also added at the time. Other projects included doubling the size of Sears (to nearly 140,000 ft² in total) and constructing a 12-screen, stadium seating cinema complex (the only one of its kind in Barnstable County). The old cinemas behind the mall were demolished for parking space. In 2003, the May Department Store chain, which included Filene's, was acquired by Federated Department Stores, who owned Macy's. Consequently, in 2007, Federated converted the Filene's store into a Macy's women's/accessory store (in addition to their "main" store, the former Jordan Marsh). [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-161772983.html] http://www.capecodtoday.com/blogs/index.php/headlines/2006/02/16/nordstrom_repleces_filene_s_at_south_sho |title=Nordstrom coming to South Shore |accessdate=2007-07-30 |format=html |publisher=CapeCodToday.com] As a result, Cape Cod Mall is one the few malls to incorporate a second Macy's store following the acquisition of May Department Stores by Federated, enabling Macy's to offer well over 200,000 ft² of total floor space, on par with many of the larger Macy's stores nationwide. The other malls to incorporate a second Macy's (following the closure of its Filene's store) is Fox Run Mall in Newington, New Hampshire and Northshore Mall in Peabody, Massachusetts.
