Rolling Oaks Mall, San Antonio, Texas

Rolling Oaks Mall is a regional mall located in northeast San Antonio, Texas. To reach the mall visitors can take the Loop 1604 and Nacogdoches Road. The mall was built and opened in 1988, with developer Melvin Simon and Associates. It is now part of the Simon Property Group. Simon Malls are well known throughout the United States. There are over 300 mall locations as part of the group, with most locations in the United States. However, there are some locations in Europe and Asia.

This particular mall has more than 100 stores, with four anchor tenants. Retail space is 889,000 square feet with two floors. The anchor stores are Dillard's Macy's, JC Penney and Sears. Simon Malls tends to have these four anchor stores in all of their malls. When Rolling Oaks first opened only Dillard's and Sears were available. In the 80's the mall struggled due to the Texas economy. Luckily this changed and eventually a 6 screen movie theater called Santikos opened up. The theater helped bring residents to the mall and Regal Cinemas bought out Santikos. Unfortunately, in 2001 the cinema was closed, but not before it became a dollar cinema brand. The building was converted into an Inflatable Wonderland.

In 1992 the mall was able to expand making way for the other two anchor stores, yet it took until 2004 for JC Penney to move into the mall. There may be a new anchor store soon, as future plans do indicate a new building where some of the parking is now.

Rolling Oaks Mall is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 9pm. It is also open on Sunday from 12pm to 6pm. The store hours can vary from mall hours based on the season.
