Fiesta Mall opens, and Arizona Mills eventually kills it
1979
Mesa, Arizona
Sears' development arm spent nine years assembling this mall and opened it in 1979, anchored by Sears, The Broadway, Goldwater's and then Diamond's. Traffic started draining away after Arizona Mills opened down the freeway in 1997, and the anchors left one by one. The mall closed in January 2018 and was demolished between 2023 and 2024.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
