Upon this event, the mall effectively has two anchor stores, Belk Department Store and Dunham's Sports. On November 12, 2021, Dunham's Sports opened in the former JCPenney anchor location on the east end of the mall, acquiring the entire JCPenney space. On January 24, 2020, Jasper Mall, a documentary feature film billed as "a year in the life of a dying shopping mall, its patrons, and its tenants" premiered at Slamdance Film Festival. The store closed its doors permanently on July 31. On March 17, 2017, it was announced that the JCPenney store would also be closing as part of a plan to close 138 locations. On December 28, 2016, Sears Holdings announced that Kmart would be closing as part of a plan to close 30 Sears and Kmart stores nationwide. This was part of an 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m 2) expansion of the mall by Sharp Realty. Third anchor Belk opened an approximately 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m 2) store in March 2002. Sharp Development Group, led by Sam Sharp, purchased the mall from Jasper Mall Associates in 1996. The local paper has reported that it is unusual for a mall to have Kmart as an anchor. Anchor JCPenney moved from downtown to the mall when it opened. Originally developed by the local Simmons family and Georgia developer George Ewing, the mall is owned by Kohan Retail. It currently is approximately 350,000 square feet (33,000 m 2) in size, and includes two anchors and about 10 smaller stores.
