The mall was built by Interstate Properties, with Grant City and Montgomery Ward serving as the original anchors.[2] Hecht's later took over the Grant's space. Leggett and Sears were added in the 1980s. At this point, the mall was opened by Interstate Properties.[3]

Leggett closed in 1997, and J. C. Penney took over the space the same year.[4] Also that year, the Hecht's relocated to a new store, with Target Corporation building a new store on the former Hecht's site.[5] After Montgomery Ward closed, Sears moved into the former Montgomery Ward building.
