The mall contains two Dillard's stores, one of which was originally H. J. Wilson Co. and later Service Merchandise.[2]

On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.[3] Dillard's has since renovated the former Sears space and moved one of its stores into it. The new store opened in May 2020.[4]

Bealls' parent company announced in September 2019 that it would be converting the Bealls name to Gordmans. However, in May 2020, Gordmans announced that it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and that it would be closing all locations as the chain is now going out of business.[5] The location was filled by a Tilt Studio family entertainment center in 2021.
