History

The mall was first announced in 1980, planned to have 5 anchors including Sears, Dillard's, Bealls Brothers, and H.J. Wilson, and was to be built by Gottlieb Corp to designs by Alan B Feingold Architects Inc for a 1982 opening.[3] The mall opened as scheduled in 1982.[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 Retail Group 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]
