Savannah Mall - Today

Today

Although the mall still has some national chain stores, most of the stores are "mon n pop." The mall aside from its anchor tenants is nowhere near as traffic heavy as its halcyon days in the early/mid '90s. Savannah Mall has more so adapted to being a power center than a shopping mall. More recently Auntie Anne's, The Limited, Trade Secret, Journeys, New York & Company, Levy Jewelers, Gap, Lane Bryant, Body Central, PacSun, and Charley's Grilled Subs (many which are tenants since the mall's opening in 1990) have closed. All of these stores either moved or already had locations at Oglethorpe Mall. Steve & Barry's closed after Christmas 2008 as the entire chain folded, leaving that building vacant once again. The mall began talking to Kohl's to fill the void left behind by Steve & Barry's, but they weren't interested in anchoring the mall, particularly the backside. In May 2011 Virginia College opened a career center inside the vacant Steve & Barry's/Montgomery Ward. In late 2011, Famous Labels opened on the upper level of the former Montgomery Ward building, which had not operated as anything but an office since Montgomery Ward closed thirteen years ago. In March 2013 a new Double Decker Carousel opened in the food court.

Savannah Mall was previously owned by Savannah Teachers' Association (1990–1998), Jones Lang LaSalle (1998–2007), and SSF Savannah Properties, LLC (Jan 2007 – May 2007).
