Cincinnati Mall (formerly Cincinnati Mills and Forest Fair Mall) is a shopping mall in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, at the junction of Interstate 275 and Gilmore Road (Exit 39). Currently, Cincinnati Mall is a two-story enclosed mall comprising less than 40 stores and services, as well as a food court and two movie theaters; anchor stores include Babies "R" Us, Bass Pro Shops, Burlington Coat Factory, Danbarry Dollar Saver Cinemas, Kohl's, Metropolis, OFF 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, Showcase Cinemas, Totes Isotoner Warehouse Clearance.
Developed by Australia-based real estate franchise L. J. Hooker, the mall opened as Forest Fair Mall in phases between 1988 and 1989. At first, it featured three upscale department store chains which had not previously operated in the Cincinnati area: Parisian, B. Altman, and Bonwit Teller. By 1990, the latter two declared bankruptcy and closed. Hooker sold the mall in 1991, and it passed through several changes in ownership and anchor tenants; by the late 1990s, Forest Fair Mall was a dead mall, with fewer than thirty-five inline tenants remaining.
Maryland-based management firm Mills Corporation purchased the mall in 2002, forcing out the few remaining non-anchor tenants before closing off the entire mall for renovations. In 2004, the property was re-opened as Cincinnati Mills, a discount-oriented mall. North Star Realty of Georgia purchased the mall in 2009.
