History
Mall at Barnes Crossing opened March 7 1990 as the third mall in the Tupelo area. Original anchor stores included Kmart, Parisian and McRae's, along with JCPenney and Sears. Kmart closed in the mid 1990s, and McRae's later opened a secondary store in the former Kmart. Both of the McRae's stores were rebranded as Belk when that chain acquired both of the McRae's locations in 2005. Belk also acquired the Parisian chain in 2007, and as a result, the former Parisian at the mall was then closed and became Dick's Sporting Goods in 2008. In 2008, Barnes and Noble opened and added an additional 10,000 sq/ft to the mall making the official size 821,000 sq/ft. Joining them in an updated lifestyle center look were, Coldwater Creek and Jos. A. Bank. The southwest entrance also has been remodeled and it the home of ULTA Beauty and D'Casa Mexican Restaurant. In 2013, CHICO's and Francesca Collection has opened.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
