Mall History: A Timeline
Sunrise Mall opened in 1979. It was built on the north side of Brownsville. This was near a big highway intersection. Later, another shopping area called Sunrise Commons opened nearby.
Changes Over the Years
The mall stayed mostly the same for many years. But in 1999, some big changes started. A store called Dillard's bought part of the mall. They moved their old store from Amigoland Mall to Sunrise Mall. A new Dillard's store opened in July 2000.
Also in 2000, JCPenney moved to Sunrise Mall. It had also been at Amigoland Mall. After these stores moved, Amigoland Mall became a college in 2003.
New Additions and Updates
A food court was added to Sunrise Mall in 2000. This gave shoppers more places to eat. In 2003, Dillard's sold its share of the mall to CBL & Associates Properties. Dillard's still kept its own store.
A store called Linens 'n Things opened in 2005. However, it closed in 2008. This happened because the company went out of business.
In 2015, the mall got a new anchor store: Dick's Sporting Goods. The mall also got some updates. These included new floor tiles, signs, and restrooms. In 2016, an H&M store opened. This was the first H&M in a mall south of San Antonio.
