2008 Changes:
In October 2007 the former Broadway store was demolished in preparation for an extensive remodel and addition on the south side of the mall. The changes include the addition of a grand entrance hall in the location of the Broadway, extension of stores on both the east and west side of the new entrance, addition of multiple water features, complete update of facade from current Macy’s to Mall Security Offices, and the addition of one freestanding retail pad, rumored to be an REI and three freestanding restaurant pads. Also being added is a parking structure in front the current Macy’s. In 4th quarter of 2008, GameStop, formerly an Electronics Boutique, in the bottom floor was relocated to the center as a Software ETC on the top floor, also owned by Gamestop, hyped a bigger, better Gamestop, this larger center one being the result. Mervyn’s has closed their store with the chain’s demise. On March 28, 2009 Forever 21 opened in the approximately 80,000 square foot space formerly anchored by Mervyn’s as part of its strategy to open larger stores with a more diverse merchandise selection.
