History

Opened in 1977 with anchors Mervyn's and Sears, Capitola Mall was renovated and expanded in 1988/89 to comprise four department stores with the addition of JCPenney and Gottschalks, and about 100 specialty shops and restaurants. In Spring 2002, Macy's replaced JCPenney, which closed in 2000. In 2008, Mervyn's closed and was replaced by Kohl's in 2009. Meanwhile, Gottschalks closed in 2009 and was replaced by Target.[1]

On August 22, 2018, Sears announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide. The store closed in November 2018.[2]
