Dillard’s and the owner of the Rolling Oaks Mall have settled a dispute over the store space that the retailer occupies at the mall.
The transfer occurred after Dillard’s dismissed a lawsuit it had filed in Houston bankruptcy court, where mall owner Washington Prime Group Inc. of Columbus, Ohio, and affiliates had entered Chapter 11 reorganization in June 2021. A Washington Prime spokeswoman declined to comment. Dillard’s representatives didn’t respond to a request for comment.
In its suit, Dillard’s said the previous mall owner — Simon Property Group — agreed in the late 1980s to convey it land in exchange for the retailer opening a store at the mall.
