History
Capital Mall opened on October 5, 1978 and was developed by The Hahn Company.[2] A 1978 article in The Spokesman-Review stated that Capital Mall was an integral factor in development of the city of Olympia. Concurrently with the mall, a number of retail developments and fast-food restaurants were also built around the mall.[3] Construction of the mall required the city of Olympia to spend $3 million on road and traffic improvements, as the mall's development was predicted to more than triple the amount of traffic in the area.[4]
The mall began with four anchor department stores: The Bon Marche, JCPenney, Frederick and Nelson, and Lamonts.[3] J. C. Penney's store cost about $2.7 million to build and was designed by the Los Angeles, California firm of Burke Nicolais Archuleta.[5]
On August 18, 1991, a fire broke out on the mall's roof, causing over $3 million in damage.[6]
Frederick & Nelson was sold to Mervyns in 1992.[7]
The mall was acquired in 1998 by Westfield America, Inc., a precursor of the Westfield Group, which renamed it "Westfield Shoppingtown Capital", dropping the "Shoppingtown" from the name in 2005.
Upon acquisition by Westfield, it underwent a $50 million expansion and renovation. One facet of the expansion opened in 2002, when the vacated Lamonts store was replaced by a Best Buy and a food court.[8]
Mervyns closed its Шаблон:Convert store on December 31, 2006 and the space has since been divided into smaller sections: Forever 21 opened in August 2010, REI opened in May 2011, and Total Wine & More opened July 2013. Forever 21 closed for good in September 2018.[9]
In October 2013, Westfield sold a controlling interest in several malls in the United States to Starwood Retail Partners, which included Capital Mall In 2013, for 1.6 billion.[1][10]
In October 2016, Dick's Sporting Goods opened a new store in the mall.[11]
