History
Brody's, which replaced a Roses, was sold to Proffitt's in 1998.[2] Best Buy was added in November 2004.[3] The same year, a movie theater operated by Cinema Grill closed.[4]
The mall was owned by General Growth Properties for nine years, then sold to Cadillac Fairview, and again to current owners Hendon Properties in 2005.[5][6]
Proffitt's was closed in 2005.[6] Part of the store became Bed Bath & Beyond that year,[7] while the rest became Ross Dress for Less a year later.[8] Petco was added in 2008, replacing a Books-A-Million bookstore which moved to the former theater space.[9] Best Buy[10] and Sears both closed in 2012. A year later, Dunham's Sports was confirmed to be opening in the vacated Sears.[11] Petco closed on January 24, 2015.[12] Bed Bath & Beyond closed at the mall in 2016, while the same year, Conn's opened in the spaces previously occupied by Petco and Best Buy.[13] Fallas opened in the former Bed Bath & Beyond on July 26, 2018.[14]
