Opened in September 1990, its buildings take up around 1 million square feet (93,000 m2). Its physical main building, parking lots, and ring road businesses encompass an area a bit less than 0.5 by 0.5 miles (800 by 800 m).
The main indoor mall currently has about 140 stores. It presently has 5 anchor stores. Three other anchors, Bullock's, The Broadway, and J. W. Robinson's were planned, but did not surface for unknown reasons. The other anchor stores are JCPenney, Sears, a location last occupied by Forever 21 (formerly Mervyns), Macy's (formerly Gottschalks), and Dick's Sporting Goods, which was developed in 2013 in a suite originally occupied by Harris and another Gottschalks store.[1] It also has the first Dillard's location in Southern California.
In 2007, the mall went through an extensive renovation that moved the old 10-screen theater to a replacement Cinemark 16-screen "stadium style seating" theater in the north ring road area.
Mervyns closed in December 2008 & the space became Forever 21 a year later.
In 2018, Forever 21 closed this location.
On June 22, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide.[2]
