History

The mall was built by Interstate Properties, with Grant City and Montgomery Ward serving as the original anchors.[2] Hecht's later took over the Grant's space. Leggett and Sears were added in the 1980s. At this point, the mall was opened by Interstate Properties.[3]

Leggett closed in 1997, and J. C. Penney took over the space the same year.[4] Also that year, the Hecht's relocated to a new store, with Target Corporation building a new store on the former Hecht's site.[5] After Montgomery Ward closed, Sears moved into the former Montgomery Ward building. Hecht's was re-branded Macy's. In 2013, Target closed its doors and was filled by Autobahn and Uptown Alley 3 years later.[6] In 2015, J. C. Penney closed its doors,[7] only to be filled by At Home a few months later.[8]

On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. This store closed in February 2020.[9]
