The property is currently closed down and the city is preparing to demolish and build an entertainment complex. In November 2014, it was stated that three-quarters of the demolition was complete and the full demolition of the mall was expected by Christmas.[4]

The mall contained at its peak over 60 stores and services. The major anchor during its lifetime included:
