History
The mall was opened in 1972, when two of its current three concourses were opened. During that time, its main tenants were Woolworth's, Walgreens and Sears. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the mall underwent extensive renovations, including the construction of its third and largest concourse, anchored by JCPenney. One of the mall's lesser entrances was later expanded to connect to Walmart, which opened in the mid 1990s. A Gonzalez Padín department store once co-anchored the Sears concourse, but it closed in the mid 1990s when the parent company went bankrupt. Its former space is occupied today by Sears Brand Central.
In December 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 23 stores nationwide. The store will close in February 2021.[2]
