Oak Court Mall announces closure of interior mall as redevelopment planning progresses

20 April 2026

Oak Court Mall today announced that the interior mall is no longer open and operating as the property enters the next phase of preparation for a long-term redevelopment of the site. Public access to the interior mall spaces has ceased as the site begins preparations for the next phase of redevelopment.

Dillard’s, Pinnacle Bank, and the office building remain open and accessible to customers and visitors. These businesses continue to operate independently of the interior mall and will not be impacted by the initial site preparations.

“We are grateful for the generations of Memphians who have supported Oak Court Mall over the years,” said representatives for the ownership group. “This property holds an important place in the community, and we are committed to honoring that history as we thoughtfully shape what comes next.”

Oak Court Mall’s next chapter is being guided by a collective of local Memphis investors who united with a shared goal to keep the property locally owned and restore its role as a vibrant, community-centered destination. Their leadership and commitment have laid the groundwork for the site’s evolution.

The ownership group continues to advance planning efforts with development partners to establish a long-term vision for the future of the site. These efforts remain focused on creating a revitalized, community-driven destination that reflects the character of Memphis and supports economic growth in East Memphis. Additional updates will be shared as plans and project details are finalized.

“We appreciate the continued patience, support, and engagement of our tenants, shoppers, and neighbors,” ownership representatives added. “As we take these important steps forward, our commitment remains firm: to create a revitalized mixed-use destination that honors the legacy of Oak Court Mall and serves the Memphis community for years to come.”
