Oak Hollow Mall is a regional shopping mall located in High Point, North Carolina, United States. It is located at the intersection of Eastchester Drive and East Hartley Drive.〔(Fact Sheet - Oak Hollow Mall ). Accessed November 7, 2007.〕 == History == At nearly 1.3 million square feet, Oak Hollow is the second largest mall in Guilford County and the third largest mall in the Piedmont Triad after Winston-Salem's Hanes Mall.〔(CBL Properties - Oak Hollow Mall ). Accessed May 5, 2010〕 When Oak Hollow Mall opened, it effectively led to the demise of Westchester Mall, which had opened in 1970 on High Point's west side off Westchester Drive just south of Phillips Avenue. After its closure, Westchester Mall was converted into a church and office complex. Oak Hollow Mall saw a decline in the 2000s as many of its interior stores began shuttering, as did its anchors. The mall lost much of its traffic to retail centers in Greensboro and Winston-Salem in addition to facing challenges from the economic downturn. The Dillard's anchor closed one of its two levels and turned the remaining open area into an outlet for the chain. Another anchor, J.C. Penney, closed on June 1, 2011, as it was unable to meet the company's new profitability threshold.〔(JCPenney Closing Oak Hollow Store Location ), WFMY News 2.

The university stated that the mall was to remain open as a retail complex for the time being.〔(High Point University Buys Oak Hollow Mall for $9 Million ).
