Carolina Place Mall in Pineville has seen it all—iconic department stores, bold new concepts, and even a full-day power outage! What started as a risky bet on empty land has become a symbol of how shopping habits and community spaces keep evolving. From Belk and JCPenney’s early days to the arrival of Dave & Buster’s and Southern Lion’s massive marketplace, the mall’s anchor lineup has constantly shifted. Even big names like Macy’s and Sears have come and gone. With new entertainment options and local vendors moving in, is Carolina Place Mall still a must-visit, or just a sign of changing times? #News #Pineville #Charlotte
