Stores
Bristol Mall had the usual mix of restaurants, mall services, fast food, and other typical mall stores, as well as a movie theater. There was also eight food establishments including Chick-Fil-A. Piccadilly Cafeterias, an original Bristol Mall tenant since the mall's opening in 1975 closed on May 23, 2011 when its lease expired. With Bristol being the home of country music, long before Knoxville or Nashville, for many years there has been a museum at the mall, showcasing the legacy this left to the area.[3]
On August 3, 2015, the local news station WCYB reported that the Bristol Mall has gone into foreclosure and will be put up for auction.[4]
The mall has slowly been in decline with many stores closing and moving to the new Pinnacle shopping complex. The remaining stores are Sears, Gamestop, Bath & Bodyworks, Bounce Bristol and Misty Mountain.
