- Selma Mall located off Highway 14 in Alabama, opened for business on March 2nd, 1972, anchored by Sears, Britts Department Store and Kress Co Department store. The mall would begin to struggle in the 1990's, where it would be renovated slightly and gain some new stores. By the 2000's, the mall was focusing on local business occupying space, and would struggle into the 2010s where anchor stores would leave. JCPenney would leave the mall in 2014, and Goodys closed for the final time in 2015. Finally, Belk shut down in June of 2023, leaving the mall with no traditional anchors, being anchored by a Flea Market in the former JCPenney. Sadly, it seems this staple of the Selma Community wont be around for much longer.

The middle anchor whose entrance is at the center fountain is a fascinating case. It was originally occupied by Tepper's who moved from downtown and called the mall store "Kartus" instead of Tepper's. It opened March 2, 1972 with the mall. It became Mr. A's Limited August 1973. March 24, 1977, it became Belk-Avery (a Belk combo I'd never seen before, so the Belk that left last year wasn't the first Belk there). During June 1977, it switched advertising as Belk-Avery to Avery's. February 5, 1981, the store became Wm. Henry when that chain bought the assets of Avery's. It seems to have closed by July or August of 1977. Beall's opened at the space on October 15, 1981. The name changed to Beall-Ladymon in July 1985 when the company renamed itself. It closed February 1994 and then Goody's came along and opened August 11, 1994. It closed July 2008 and came back and reopened, as you said, November 2, 2011, to close again March 28, 2015. So, to recap, in that space, we had: Kartus, Mr. A's Limited, Belk-Avery, Avery's, Wm. Henry, Beall's, Beall-Ladymon, Goody's, and Goody's, for a total of 9 anchor names in that space over its lifetime. I'm including the history of that anchor here since it was quite difficult to research due to all the name changes. BTE, Sears opened July 14, 1971 and Britt's March 2, 1972. Kress (where Citi-Trends was or is) opened November 26, 1971.
Thank you so much for this info!
This is a really nice place!! I love the aesthetics!
Good work! You always make malls most of us have never been to way more interesting!

Wow this is so nostalgic😄. Thanks for sharing this. Selma is where I was born and raised. I remember when this mall was filled with activity back in the day. Holiday events, talent show events and just any weekend seeing people hang out at the Selma Mall, Maaan, so many childhood memories😃.
I'm glad I could remind you of yesteryear!
This was great! Love to see these small malls. This is only about an hour from me, but I’ve never been.
Nice video mate I love that the weather is so nice now it’s exploring season :)

Why do have black and white photos when colored ones are available? I can't see swat in black and white!
I didnt find any old colored photos, if those are out there then that's amazing! It's rare for a lot of these malls to even have so many old photos, at all, black & white or color.
Every time i see this mall i am suprised it hasn’t closed yet it is deader than a hammer
Malls are empty bc people shop online now
