[edit] History
One of the original anchor stores at the mall was local chain Steiger's, which sold its locations to Filene's in 1994.[3] Service Merchandise also had a store in the mall until 1999. Two years after its closure, the mall acquired a permit to open a BJ's Wholesale Club in the space vacated by Service Merchandise. [4] Instead, the building was torn down and replaced with Best Buy. [5] Ames which vacated in 2001, was replaced with a Target in 2002. [6] An Old Navy store was added to the mall in 2000.[7] It and a Steve & Barry's, both in the Sears wing, closed in 2010; the latter was replaced by Famous Labels the same year. [8]
