Eastpoint Mall is a mall in Dundalk, Maryland. The mall currently has 140 stores, including its anchors Sears and JC Penney.[1]

The food court at the mall has been the site of retirees from World War II to reminisce.[2]

History

In the current location of the mall was a shopping center that included a Hutzler's and Hochschild Kohn's department store. In the 1970s, this shopping center was enclosed, thereby making the location a mall.[3] JC Penney came to the mall in 1974.[4] In 1981, a Record Bar store opened at the mall.[5] The Hutzler's store closed in 1984[6] and became Sears in 1991.[7] Value City and Value City Furniture later split the old Hochschild Kohn's building. Ames was also added as an anchor, later becoming Steve & Barry's. Steve & Barry's closed in 2008, becoming DSW and Shopper's World in 2010. DSW since closed in early 2016. Value City also closed in 2008, becoming Burlington Coat Factory. The mall's fountain was based on Robert Woodward's El Alamein Fountain in Sydney. A half-dandelion version was at Towson Town Center.[8]
