BEAVERCREEK — Dillard’s is planning to move into the space that Macy’s left open in March at the Mall at the Fairfield Commons.
Some shoppers were excited to hear that another anchor store was moving in at the mall. Since March, the part of the mall that housed Macy’s has sat empty.
Jillian Compton, of Dayton, said, “I was going to Mary’s since I was a kid. I mean, that’s where we’d go Christmas shopping,”

Compton has tons of memories at the mall from her childhood to her teenage years.
“That was the hangout spot. And then, you know, the food court, all the things, yeah, that was our spot,” Compton said.
She told News Center 7 that she has seen stores come and go. She remembers when Macy’s left in March. But now, according to a zoning permit submitted to the city of Beavercreek, Dillard’s is planning to move it.
“I think it’s pretty comparable to Macy’s from my personal experience, maybe a little nicer,” Compton said.
However, some shoppers that News Center 7 talked to say Dillard’s doesn’t have bargain sales like Macy’s did.
But everyone is excited to see the space utilized and potentially more shoppers at the mall.
“The big stores are what brings people out and then, you know, they can help kind of the smaller stores that people pass by,” Compton said.
