History
[edit]The original mall, the north wing, was opened in 1975 withBelk,JCPenneyandSears.In 1990, a new wing was built, expanding the mall southward to includeIvey's(this store was signed as Ivey's but, due to an acquisition by the parent company, opened asDillard's),Thalhimer's(converted toHecht'sin 1992, and toMacy'sin 2006) and a newfood court.[citation needed]
Because of this design, one must go through JCPenney to cross from one wing to the other. In addition, the mall is built into the side of a hill; patrons enter through the first floor on the south side of the mall, but must enter on the second floor on the north side. Hanes Mall is two stories throughout, with the exception of Belk and the former Macy's, which each have an additional floor.[citation needed]
In the late 1980s, a four-lane boulevard named after the mall was built giving those who are residents or driving through Winston-Salem new ways to get new development, also replacing a lengthy portion of nearby local road Vest Mill Road. In 1992, the Interstate 40 rerouting, allowed for a new half diamond interchange connecting Hanes Mall Boulevard to the new interstate stretch to be constructed. This replaced having to exit off at the Silas Creek Parkway with the former Interstate 40 stretch to access the mall.
The road that loops the mall's parking lot is known as Hanes Mall Circle and is the address for many outlying businesses. There are five roadway entrances into the mall parking lot, one off of Silas Creek Parkway, two off of Hanes Mall Boulevard, and two off of Stratford Road. Hanes Mall also had a four-screenGeneral Cinemamovie theater until October 10, 2000; it stood at the spot that is now home to theTexas Roadhouserestaurant. Golden Corral is in what used to be the parking lot next to the theater. Golden Corral has the theater's old address which is 180 Hanes Mall Circle. The theater closed after the lease ended. The theater was at Hanes Mall for 25 years and was one of the original buildings at the mall.[citation needed]
