The mall also once housed a Woolworth's but it was remodeled into the food court in 1997. In 1989 the mall closed its small theater in favor of a multi-screen complex located just outside the Dillard's side. The mall underwent a significant expansion and renovation in 1985 and Thalhimer's was added as an anchor tenant, with Kerrison's demolished and replaced by JCPenney in 1992. Also lost in the remodel was a Morrison's Cafeteria located next to Kerrison's.

Thalhimer's was later sold to Dillard's in 1992 and expanded in 2004. The mall was purchased in 1984 by Jacobs, Visconsi & Jacobs (later known as the Richard E. Jacobs group), owners and developers of Charleston's Citadel Mall, and later sold to current owners CBL & Associates Properties who again remodeled the mall in 2004. CBL & Associates Properties owned Citadel Mall until defaulting on mortgage payments and losing it to the lien-holder in a foreclosure sale in 2014.

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Northwoods Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[3] Sears closed its store in July 2017 and the building has been subdivided with half left vacant and half under construction for a Burlington store. Carrabba's is also an outparcel on the Seritage site.

The mall concourses and four of the department stores are one level in design, with JCPenney as the only two-level store.
