The mall opened on August 4, 1976, originally featuring Gayfers (now Dillard's), Belk, Rosenberg's, and Sears as its anchor stores.

This store replaced a nearby location at Midtown Shopping Center.^[2] The store opened in 1988.^[3] Also that year, the Belk store was renovated.^[4] Rosenberg's closed in 1990 and became Mansour's a year later.^[5]
