History

Meyer C. Weiner Company first proposed a mall called Pipestone Mall in Benton Harbor in 1974. By March 1976, Hudson's had been rumored as a potential anchor store.[3] Westcor acquired the land in August of the same year.[4] The mall was part of a development along Pipestone Road near Interstate 94 which also comprised a strip mall anchored by a Kmart. By 1977, Sears and J. C. Penney had been confirmed as anchors, with negotiations underway for Carson's as the third anchor.[5] Orchards Mall was built in 1979 by Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation[6] with Westcor as leasing agent. It had Sears and J. C. Penney, both of which relocated from downtown Benton Harbor, although the mall has been significant changes it is now on the upswing! In 2007 the management of the Mall was acquired by JCJJ Management who has cared for and made tremendous improvements!

Sorry to be so harsh, but this is the worst mall I've ever seen. Only about 40% of the stores are actually occupied, there are shady characters constantly roaming around, and the last time I was...
