The mall's anchor stores are JCPenney, Vendors Village, Seno Formal Wear, and Ulta Beauty. There are 2 vacant anchor stores that were once Macy's and Sears. Vendors Village opened in the former Carson's space in November 2018.[7]

The southern anchor building was originally Root Dry Goods, which was converted to L. S. Ayres in 1998[8] and Macy's in 2006. Carson's opened as Meis a store which re-located from downtown Terre Haute, and was later Elder-Beerman.[9]

In 1983, the city of Terre Haute annexed the land on which the mall was situated.[10]

On January 3, 2018, Macy's announced that they would close their store at the mall. This store closed in March 2018.[11] In April 2018, Carson's parent company Bon-Ton filed for bankruptcy and closed all of its stores. In October 2018, Sears Holdings filed for bankruptcy and announced the closure of 142 stores including the unit at Honey Creek Mall which left JCPenney as the only traditional anchor left.[12]

The mall was renamed to Haute City Center on December 16, 2019.[13]
