The enclosed Adrian Mall has been closed since June 2020. Stores with outside entrances on the property, including Dunham’s Sports, Hobby Lobby and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, remain open.
M. H. Hausman developed Adrian Mall, opening September 3, 1970, in Adrian, Michigan, anchored initially by JCPenney and Sears, with Elder-Beerman added as a third anchor following a 1985 expansion. The mall drew shoppers from across Lenawee County for decades as an enclosed regional destination.
Elder-Beerman closed in April 2018 as part of parent company Bon-Ton Stores’ bankruptcy, and Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the property in 2019, bringing in new locally-owned businesses under the new ownership. In March 2020, the city found serious roof and water-damage issues serious enough to threaten condemnation, and granted a deadline of April 11 for a complete roof replacement.
Little of the required work was completed, and the mall was condemned on June 16, 2020, with a further deadline of July 31 to resolve the issues or remain permanently closed; the enclosed mall never reopened.
Tours and tickets are booked on GetYourGuide.
