History
The mall was built and opened in 1976 as Sooner Fashion Mall. The mall was developed by Monumental Properties.
The mall was expanded in 1988 when Dillard's moved to a new store. JCPenney, which already had a store in the mall, moved into Dillard's original location.[4]
In 1996, the mall was purchased by General Growth Properties. On November 20, 1999, the mall was renamed to Sooner Mall.[5]
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Sooner Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[6]
On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide.[7]
In June, 2026, it was revealed that Dick’s Sporting Goods has been planning to open one of their large format Dick’s House of Sport concept stores inside the former Sears. This is part of Dick’s Sporting Goods expansion to open Dick’s House of Sport locations across the United States. Dick’s House of Sport would likely occupy the entire anchor space.[8]
