[9] In July 1989, Wellan's closed after failing to pay rent for seven months; the Alexandria Mall store was the chain's last remaining location.

In November of that year, a renovation of the Sears wing of the mall and its entrance was completed, and part of the former Wellan's became a Sam Goody store;[11] Stein Mart filled the remainder of the space in October 1995.

[18] Bed Bath & Beyond opened in 2008 in the previous location of Weiss & Goldring, and the former Stein Mart became a children's play place called Slinkee's.

[19] Both Slinkee's and the neighboring Lagniappe Theater Company had their leases terminated on September 29, 2015, as the mall was under negotiations to convert their spaces into a Conn's store, which opened on February 13, 2016.

[24] In fall 2024, Burlington Coat Factory moved to the nearby MacArthur Village shopping center, and Conn's closed as part of the chain's bankruptcy proceedings.
