History
The mall was first announced in 1980, planned to have five anchors including Sears, Dillard's, Bealls, and H. J. Wilson Co.. Built by Gottlieb Corp and designed by Alan B Feingold Architects, the mall opened as scheduled in 1982.[3][4]
In October 2016, Ulta Beauty opened at the mall.[5][6] Also in 2016, Hibbett Sports opened in the mall.[7]
The mall was owned by General Growth Properties until Rouse Properties was spun off from the company in 2012.[8] Rouse was acquired by Brookfield Properties in 2016.
On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. The store closed on February 3, 2020.[9] The space formerly occupied by Sears is now a Hobby Lobby location.[10]
