Bayshore Mall is an indoor shopping mall in
History
The mall was built in 1988 as demand for shopping grew in the North Coast Region of California. The original anchors were Mervyn's on the south end, Gottschalks on the west end, JCPenney on the east end, and Sears on the north end. Longs Drugs also operated a store at the mall, which was closed (having been relocated to the PayLess store purchased by Longs at the Eureka Mall nearby) and most of that space was converted to Petco in 2004.[3]
In the early 2000s, JCPenney downsized into an outlet store, then left the mall entirely.
June 29, 2019 saw the return of Old Navy after leaving the mall in 2009, occupying the spot vacated by Sports Authority three years earlier.[6][7]
On August 31, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing their Bayshore Mall location a part of a plan to close 85 stores nationwide. The store closed on December 1, 2019.[8]
In January 2020, Pier 1 Imports announced it would close their Bayshore Mall location as part of a plan to close over 400 locations nationwide.[9]
Bed Bath & Beyond was shuttered in 2023 when the company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, resulting in the closure of the chain's remaining stores.
2010 Eureka earthquake
On January 9, 2010, a 6.5 earthquake struck off the coast of Eureka, about 27 miles out at sea, at 4:27 pm.[10] The mall was among the buildings damaged by the quake, with loosened floor and ceiling tiles, as well as water damage from the sprinklers, but engineers found no structural damage.[11]
