A walk through North Oaks Mall 2015. Updated 10/16/2019 with new photos

Updated 10/16/2019 with added photos from Chad Westmoreland. A big thanks to Chad for the extra images. 

This is my second recent trip to the North Oaks Mall, click here for the first.

North Oaks Mall once connected to the far anchor which was a Target, but was mostly closed off to expand the retail stores with exterior entrances. Currently the cinema is the only business open in the mall corridor. 

Here is the view when you walk into this small remaining corridor at the North Oaks Mall.

A vintage MacFrugal's sign at the mall entrance to Big Lots. Several years ago all of the different closeout stores under the Consolidated Stores Corporation all became Big Lots stores and the MacFrugal's and Odd Lots names disappeared.

As you can see this was a very slow night for the movie theater. 

The other entrance to the mall corridor at the back of the center.

Update 10/2019 Chad Westmoreland provided us this shot of the former Aladdin's Castle interior.

Another former mall store down what is left of the mall corridor that once stretched to what was a former Target.

This is where the mall corridor abruptly ends. The Target entrance was further down the hallway years ago.

Here is the view of the former Target entrance. Photo provided by Chad Westmoreland.

North Oaks Mall and Westchase Mall are twin shopping centers that were both developed with small mall corridors. The malls were developed in either the late 1970's or very early 1980's. Both malls were very small corridors that had a few small shops between the Target and center entrance to the mall. 

Today we will feature North Oaks which is located at FM 1960 and Veterans Memorial. 

A few former big-box stores at the mall were.

North Oaks has been through many changes over the years but still remains very successful. Several nearby shopping centers have struggled to retain tenants, but North Oaks is nearly full and continues to fill empty shopping center spaces relatively quickly. Very little information about this mall is available online so as always comments are appreciated. 

Here is the rest of the shopping center across the street. 

A look into the remaining mall corridor which is the entrance to the North Oaks 6 Cinema. All of the small shops have closed or were absorbed into a large retailer space. At Westchase this area has been completely absorbed by larger stores.

A MacFrugal's sign on the Big Lots entrance to the mall shows the age of this corridor.
