Mall location) by November 2008. The new Apple Store opened in 2008. In 2010, North Star Mall celebrated its 50th anniversary and opened the 1985 time capsule. The same year, Forever 21 relocated its existing store into the former Mervyns location and a Michael Kors store opened by the start of the holiday shopping season. On March 2, 2020, North Star Mall was closed for 24 hours for disinfection following a visit by a woman whom had re-tested positive for the COVID-19 Coronavirus after being released from the Texas Center for Infectious Disease (TCID). Previous anchors Previous anchors include Wolff and Marx, Frost Bros. (the space now occupied by Forever 21), Marshall Field's (the space most recently occupied by Macy's, then re-opened as JCPenney in summer 2007), and Foley's (the space now occupied by Macy's). Wolff and Marx closed in 1969 (and owner Joske's opened a new four-level Joske's store the same year), Frost Bros. was liquidated in 1989 after one year in bankruptcy, Marshall Field's exited the Texas market in 1997, and Foley's was renamed Macy's in 2006. Additional information There used to be an underground arcade, called the Music Court. Added in 1982 near the north entry between what is currently JCPenney and Saks Fifth Avenue, it was accessible only by escalator. In the early 1980s, the arcade's tenants included Expensive Toys for Big Boys, a record store, and a music store. An Oshman's Sporting Goods store leased the entire arcade space in the late 1980s and moved the escalator to the main corridor of pedestrian traffic for prime access. The Oshman's closed in the 1990s when it opened a superstore across the highway (then Sports Authority, but closed in 2016), and the underground space has since been closed off. The parking garage added in the mid-1980s between Saks and Dillard's displaced the mall's movie theater complex. The Texaco fuel station located in the mall's original underground garage (at the corner of Rector and McCullough) was also closed during the 1980s renovations. The North Star Transit Center, operated by VIA Metropolitan Transit, is located adjacent to the mall's northwest corner References External links North Star Mall official website Bob "Daddy-O" Wade official website Shopping malls established in 1960 Brookfield Properties Shopping malls in San Antonio
