The Bayshore Mall is an indoor shopping mall located in Eureka, California owned and managed by Rouse Propertiesa division of General Growth Properties, one of the largest mall owners in the United States. It is named for its close proximity to Humboldt Bay. The large shopping facility is the only major mall located on the coast north of the San Francisco Bay Area, securing Eureka as the trading center for the entire far North Coast. The mall was built in 1988 as demand for shopping grew in the North Coast Region of California. The original anchors were Mervyns on the south end, Gottschalks on the west end, JCPenney on the east end, and Sears on the north end. Currently, Sears is the only original anchor still at the mall. Longs Drugs also operated a store at the mall, which was closed (having been moved to the PayLess store purchased by Longs at the Eureka Mall nearby) and most of that space was converted to Petco in 2004 。On January 9, 2010, a 6.5 earthquake struck off the coast of Eureka, about 27 miles out at sea, at 4:27 pm. The mall was among the buildings damaged by the quake, with loosened floor and ceiling tiles, as well as water damage from the sprinklers, but engineers found no structural damage.
