It opened in 1966 as Oakway Mall, with an Albertsons supermarket, Tiffany's Drugstore, and Oakway Department Store as anchors. The Oakway Department store closed after only six years and was subdivided.[3] Albertsons moved to a new store in 1990 and converted to TJ Maxx the same year.[4] After Tiffany's closed in 1998,[5] it became a Borders Books & Music, which closed in 2011 and was rumored to become an H&M.[6] TJ Maxx moved across the street in 2005 and was subdivided among other retailers, including White House/Black Market.[7] In 2013 Nordstrom Rack announced that they would open a new store where Borders Books & Music was located.[8]
On May 21, 2020, it was announced that Pier 1 Imports would be closing all stores, including the Oakway Center location.[9]
