Arden Fair is a two-level regional shopping mall located on Arden Way in Sacramento, California, United States. It consists of over 165 tenants, encompassing over 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2) of retail space.[2][3] The mall features the traditional retailers Macy's and JCPenney as anchor stores. It is operated by the premier development firm Macerich.

History

Arden Fair was originally built in 1957 as a single-level outdoor mall with

Hale's, the second original anchor, opened four years later in 1961, which was later converted to Weinstock's. By the 1970s, Arden Fair was converted into an indoor mall.[5]

In 1989, a major structural renovation and physical face-lift occurred by Homart Development, which more than doubled the size of the mall. It added a second story, a food court and brought the first

United Artists movie theater that was relocated to Market Square at Arden Fair, an entertainment and retail complex next door to the mall.[4] In 1996, Weinstock's was converted to the present-day Macy's as part of Federated Department Stores' (now Macy's, Inc.) acquisition of Broadway Stores, Inc
in 1995.

In early 2004,

Verizon Wireless phone store.[7]

The dawn of the early 2020s saw several storied traditional department store retailers update their brick-and-mortar formats after being encroached upon to a degree by several digital retailers in recent years in addition to the

COVID pandemic
.

In May 2020, Nordstrom, which also retains an additional outpost in nearby Roseville, announced plans to shutter along with several additional locations as a direct result of pulling back because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]

In January 2021, Sears announced it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its traditional brick-and-mortar format.[9][10]

In August 2023, it was reported that Macerich, the mall development firm, had purchased both previous outposts with the primary intent of introducing a variety of new modern national retailers.[11]

In April 2024, it was announced that both H&M and Uniqlo would open their first Sacramento locations at Arden Fair in September 2024.[12]
