Crossville Outlet Mall Changes Ownership, New Name On The Way

The Crossville Outlet Mall is set to get a new name and website: Landers Crossroads.

Chris Landers who owns Landers Trade in Monterey now owns the facility. He said it’s been in the works for several months, but he officially took ownership last month.

“The destination of Buc-ee’s being in place is a big deal for Crossville and the Upper Cumberland,” Landers said. “Across the street sits the outlet mall, so my vision for the mall is to keep it intact, keep going and grow it.”

Landers said he wants to bring more tenants to the shopping center while also keeping the existing stores. Landers said the mall is a staple for many in the community that needs a face lift.

“For the community, it’s going to be big,” Landers said. “Over the next couple of weeks, we can be more open about the fact of what’s happening and how we will continue to grow and help the tenants and bring people into the mall.”

Landers said people can expect the outside of the mall to get a new look and logos soon. Landers said he even wants to get creative and possibly incorporate an event center in the future.

“We’ve already had some interest in some new tenants,” Landers said. “Just in these subtle small steps we have taken this far, it has already been noticed. People are interested in some of the spaces available.”

Landers said there is also a “very good chance” that a Landers Trade location is established at the mall.

“In my mind, I’ve already found the spot that we want to grow into,” Landers said. “My son is heavily involved in Landers Trade, and I have a task ahead for him. He’s digging into a product list that would be very beneficial for those on that side of town.”

Landers said he got the idea for the new name based on a store at the location many years ago. Landers said it included the word “crossroads” so he decided to combine his name with it.
