(WTVA) – Work is underway at the Barnes Crossing Mall. Senior General Manager Jeff Snyder said that the mall is spending more than $2 million on improvements. Snyder said this includes new paving, resurfacing, road improvements, painting and landscaping.  New signs will also be placed around the mall. They will be on Highway 45, Barnes Crossing and North Gloster.   Snyder said the improvements fit in with everything else that is going on in the area, including the opening of Target. “The more we can bring to the table that keeps people driving to Tupelo, the better,” Snyder said. “It is not just us. All of Tupelo. Downtown. Mid-town. The Barnes Crossing district. The flea market.” As for the mall, he said a new clothing store named Urban Planet is also on its way. As well as additional improvements in 2027.  Copyright 2026 WTVA. All rights reserved.
