History
Regency Square opened in 1975. At the time, its anchor stores comprised JCPenney, Sears, Miller & Rhoads and Thalhimer's. Besides the addition of a food court in 1987, the mall remained largely unchanged.[2] After Miller & Rhoads closed in 1990, Hecht's bought the location, along with three other former Miller & Rhoads stores in Virginia, and converted it to a Hecht's.[3] Two years later, the Thalhimer's chain was also acquired by Hecht's, and as a result, the Thalhimer's became a second Hecht's location.
Taubman Centers acquired the Regency Square mall in 1997.[4] A children's play place was added in 2003.[2]
Competition with other malls
Regency Square faced additional retail competition in 2003, when two other malls opened nearby: Short Pump Town Center and Stony Point Fashion Park, the latter also a Taubman property.[5] In 2008, it had the second-lowest vacancy rate of any shopping center in Richmond.[6]
In January 2012, Taubman sold the mall to its mortgage lender to avoid foreclosure on the property.[7]
