Hickory Hollow Mall is a regional indoor shopping mall in Antioch, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville. The mall was originally built in 1978. In 1982, a JCPenney and several other stores were added. Another expansion project in 1991 resulted in a new building for Dillard's, with a mall expansion built upon the former Dillard's location. The two-level mall is built in a cross pattern, with four wings situated around a central hub. A Food Court is situated between the Macy's and Sears wings.

Decline

JC Penney left the mall in 2006. It was replaced with Steve & Barry's. Dillard's has announced intentions to close its Hickory Hollow store in August 2008 and has already converted the store to a clearance location. General economic decline, competition from newer nearby shopping centers in Mt. Juliet, Smyrna, and Murfreesboro (all of which were considered part of Hickory Hollow's trading area), as well as an increase in crime in the neighborhoods around the mall, are all speculated as factors that have resulted in a drop in retailers and per-square-foot sales.
