The Shoppes at Parma, formerly Parmatown Mall, is a shopping mall located in Parma, Ohio, approximately south of Cleveland. It is located at the southwest corner of State Route 3 and Ridgewood Drive in southern Cuyahoga County. It is anchored by J.C. Penney and Walmart. The mall opened as a shopping plaza in 1956 and was enclosed in the mid-1960s. Its original anchors were Higbee's and May Company. Higbee's became Dillard's in 1992, and closed in 2000. The old Higbee's structure was demolished and replaced with a new Wal-Mart in 2004. May Company became Kaufmann's in 1992 and Kaufmann's became Macy's in 2006. A Kresge also served as a fourth anchor store until it was closed in the early 1980s to make way for an expansion. Parts of the original plaza remain open-air, with Chuck E. Cheese's and Marc's as major tenants. It has about 150 stores. The mall was renovated in the early 2000s. From 1967 to 2004, a five-screen cinema operated in the Dillard's wing of the mall. General Cinema opened the Parmatown Theater with two screens, which was unheard of at the time. A third screen opened in the 1970s, along with two more in the 1980s. General Cinema closed the theater in 2001. A year later, a chain known as Cinema Grill leased the theater, renovated the front lobby, and made modifications to allow customers to eat meals while watching movies. When Cinema Grill was evicted due to lack of rent payments, Cleveland Cinemas stepped in and took over. In August 2004, Cleveland Cinemas was asked to leave the mall to allow a Dick's Sporting Goods to be built in its spot.〔http://blog.cleveland.com/screeningroom/2007/10/from_the_archive_parmatown_clo.html〕 Its last day of operation was August 11, 2004. On December 16, 2009 a small fire closed Parmatown Mall for a few hours. Borders Express closed their store here in January 2010. On July 6, 2011 the Parmatown's lender filed for receivership due to loan service default from RMS Enterprises, a venture formed by the founding Ratner, Miller, and Shafran families of Forest City Enterprises Inc. On March 26, 2013, Parmatown's new owner, Phillips Edison & Co., announced that the soon-to-be-renovated Parmatown will have a new name: "The Shoppes at Parma". The reconstruction/renovation of the shopping center began during the summer of 2013. On January 4, 2012 Macy's announced the Parmatown store would close in early 2012.〔http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/18029〕 Demolition of the store began on January 29, 2014. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Shoppes at Parma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
