Prior to 2017, the mall hosted a variety of stores and restaurants such as National Wholesale Liquidators, LensCrafters, Powerhouse Gym, GNC, Payless ShoeSource, Nail Pro, Pizza In The Square, Subway, Pretzel Time, and TCBY on the first floor, and Sports Authority, Kid City, Ideal Jewelers, and Sleepy's on the second floor.
