Mayberry Mall is a shopping mall located just outside Mount Airy, North Carolina on the east side of U.S. Highway 52. It was named after the fictitious town of Mayberry in which The Andy Griffith Show was based. The anchor stores are Belk, J.C. Penney, and Kmart.

Opened in 1968,[1] it is the only shopping center between Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Roanoke, Virginia.[2] One of the original anchor stores was W.T. Grant's Grant City, which closed in 1975[3] and became Kmart. Winn Dixie was also an anchor until it relocated in 1978.[4] Belk was added in 1970,[5] and J.C. Penney moved into the mall in 1987.[6]
