The Apple Blossom Mall is a 473,672 square feet (44,006 m2) shopping mall that was built in 1982 on the south side of Winchester, Virginia. It has 83 stores, including anchor stores of Belk (formerly Leggett), AMC Classic, and JCPenney.[2] The mall's single vacant anchor space was once occupied by Sears. The shopping mall was acquired by Simon Property Group in 1999. It is now managed and 49.1% owned by Simon Property Group.

In 2007, Simon Property Group announced the development of a major lifestyle center at Apple Blossom Mall. The addition was slated to include three lifestyle-type tenants, two big boxes, an additional department store, new restaurants, and an RC Theatres 16-screen complex. Construction on the theatres was to begin in the spring of 2007 with the opening scheduled between late 2007 and early 2008.
