Firestone (former JCPenney Auto Center); Cloverleaf Mall, Richmond, Virginia
The JCPenney Auto Center echoed the design of the main store.
__________
This store opened in 1972 with the mall and was the largest JCPenney in Virginia for many years. It measured 200,000 square feet on two floors with an exaggerated mechanical penthouse, giving it the appearance of a much larger store from the front. It was built with a detached Auto Center that converted to Firestone in 1983.
This store closed in 2000 and relocated to a smaller location at Chesterfield Towne Center, about 4 miles away. This building and the mall it used to anchor will be demolished in 2012 in favor of a new mixed-use development on the site.
