NORFOLK, Va. — Another department store is leaving MacArthur Center in Norfolk.
Monday marked the last day Dillard's would be open as a tenant at the Downtown Norfolk location. The store originally planned to become a clearance store, where there would be price reductions on clothes, before the company changed its plans and announced in August that it would close outright.
The MacArthur Center has undergone a turbulent past few years. Several shootings and other crimes have contributed to the mall losing many businesses, but the City of Norfolk recently purchased the property for $18 million.
Among other departures the mall has seen in recent years are Chili's, the Apple Store, Barnes & Noble, Nordstrom, California Pizza Kitchen, and Texas de Brazil.
