Opened in 1978, the anchor stores are Dillard's and JCPenney. Fort Smith, Arkansas-based Warmack & Company, the developer of the mall, began construction in June 1977. The mall's location, specifically its parking lot, is the location of the lover's lane where three of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders in 1946 took place. Opening in 1978 with 586,497 square feet, Central Mall overtook Oaklawn Village Shopping Center as the largest shopping destination in the Texarkana metro, at more than four times its size. Dillard's, JCPenney, and Sears were the mall's original anchor tenants. The Texarkana location of Dillard's marked the second location in its entire chain for the Little Rock, Arkansas-based company, which now operates 282 stores across 29 states. Warmack & Company retained ownership of the mall until it was sold in 2004.
