Construction work continues for eight new stores at Main Street Oak Ridge, the redevelopment of the former Oak Ridge Mall.
Here are photos from the 58-acre project on Friday, February 10.
With the exception of Belk and JCPenney, the former mall has been demolished, and there has been significant progress on the sites where the new stores are being built.
RealtyLink, the development company, has previously said the eight new stores at Main Street Oak Ridge could be ready by late spring or summer.

I was wondering if movie theater will get a makeover?
johnhuotari says
Josh,
As best as I can recall, the theater property is separate from the Main Street Oak Ridge project. I haven’t heard whether the theater might get a makeover separate from the Main Street Oak Ridge project, but I’ll try to let you know if I hear anything.
Thank you,
John
Josh Jones says
Thanks. I was just wondering because that will be a big eye sore next to all the new buildings and hopefully they remodel it.
Ray Evans says
The theater is owned by the Lightman family in Memphis and leased to Cinnemark.

I’m jazzed.
