## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Columbus Place, formerly Leigh Mall, is a shopping mall in Columbus, Mississippi, United States, constructed in 1973 and marketed by Sterling Properties. The anchor stores were Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Planet Fitness, and Burke's Outlet, with a vacant anchor store that was once JCPenney. In 2019 it was purchased at auction for US$3.5 million by the Hull Property Group, which after much demolition and rebuilding renamed it Columbus Place in 2023.
