MacArthur Center Closes After 27 Years

Saturday marks the final shutdown of the MacArthur Center, a beloved Norfolk landmark that’s been open for 27 years. As the mall prepares to close its doors for good, locals and visitors from afar are flocking in for one last look — some even driving hours to say goodbye. The city’s redevelopment plans mean demolition is coming, but the closure is already reshaping daily life, especially parking. Starting Monday, the top floors of both parking garages are shut down. Amid the change, a new creative hub called For Creatives LLC is stepping in to support displaced small businesses, offering temporary space for photographers, content creators, and entrepreneurs — proving that even as one chapter ends, new opportunities are ready to bloom.
