Parkdale Mall Beaumont Texas

Parkdale Mall is a super regional mall located in Beaumont Texas. Parkdale Mall has several anchor stores and junior anchors with outside access. Parkdale Mall has recently been renovated, but still has some older styled stores that have not updated their look. The area on Dowlen Rd. is where a good portion of the Beaumont retail district and recent growth of Beaumont has occurred. The mall is also located across the highway from the Circuit City store featured below. The mall is mostly successful and has most of the major chain stores that are in the popular malls.

The part of the mall facing Highway 69 has many interior mall stores with a big box style outside entrance.

JCPenney is a very old design. The inside of the store is only one story, but the outside of the store appears to be two stories.

Bealls sits on top of the former Dillard's #2 store.

Macy's sits on the site of a Montgomery Ward; part of the former department store was demolished to create the Foley's store that is now a Macy's.

Dillard's was consolidated into this store in the mid 2000's and the store was substantially remodeled. 

This mall is managed by the same company CBL as the Post Oak Mall in College Station.

The Sears wing is to the right of the mall food court; this wing is much slower than the rest of the mall and has several vacant storefronts. The majority of the mall traffic favors the food court area, so this part of the mall could use a popular junior anchor to bring more traffic here. All of the junior anchors with outside entrances are in between JCPenney and Sears.

This interesting sign is seen as you exit the food court towards the main mall.

JCPenney has two mall entrances similar to the San Jacinto Mall in Baytown. One of the entrances has an older brick style entrance probably from before the mirrored glass era. The first entrance is in the middle of the mall, and the second one is near the food court.

The Macy's wing features an Ashley Furniture Homestore, Tilt Arcade, and several other stores.

The Dillard's wing features Books a Million, a Suncoast Movie store, and a local Fox 4 television station where mall patrons can see the news being filmed.

A still open Suncoast store, but all of the neon is out and in disrepair as you can see by the sign. I was very surprised to see this store still open because these stores completely disappeared from Houston just like the FYE music stores that are also part of the same completely.

The look of this store is definitely 1980's; there are a few older style storefronts still left in this mall. This store is located in the Macy's wing.

This former Picadilly Cafeteria is located right around the corner from the Suncoast store in the Dillard's wing.
