Crossroads Plaza is an outdoor shopping center located in Cary, North Carolina, United States. The shopping center was opened in 1992 and has been added onto and renovated several times since then. It contains over 70 stores, including national chains and locally-owned stores.〔(Crossroads Plaza | 2015 )〕 Originally planned as a $240 million, regional mall on of land with anchor stores by top New York-based retailers, the "megamall" was intended to attract more than local customers with a planned opening of fall 1989. Original plans included of non-retail space including a corporate park and hotel. The original owner was NCNB (now Bank of America) acting as trustee for the Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio, and the developer was LJ Hooker Corporation, which had embarked on an ill-fated plan to build malls across the United States. The planned development would have increased Cary's tax base by 18%. LJ Hooker was forced to put its American interests into bankruptcy, and the Crossroads site was purchased by New Market Development. Their drastically changed plan shifted from an enclosed mall at the center of the site to a power center with numerous big-box anchors lining the edge of the site. Although the new proposal had half as much retail space, it was very large for an outdoor retail center at the time. The plaza's original anchors included Toys "R" Us, Uptons department store, Stein Mart, Bookstar, Pet Depot, Marshalls, REI, OfficeMax, Home Quarters Warehouse, and Phar-Mor. Service Merchandise opened after the grand opening. Several of the original anchors have changed. Bookstar shut after acquisition by Barnes & Noble, and others have gone bankrupt: Home Quarters was replaced with Dick's Sporting Goods and Bed Bath & Beyond, Phar-Mor was replaced by Best Buy, Service Merchandise was replaced by DSW, Inc. and A.C. Moore, and Uptons was replaced with Old Navy. ==Anchors== * Toys "R" Us * Best Buy * Dick's Sporting Goods * DSW Shoe Warehouse * Bed Bath & Beyond * A.C.
