There was no designated "eatery" location in the mall, but the layout included a logical entertainment end which featured two restaurants (Dairy Queen and In-a-Tub), a six-screen AMC theater, and an arcade (Nickelodeon).

MC Sporting Goods operated as a junior anchor in part of the former Montgomery Ward store until it closed in March 2009.

Plans for redeveloping the ailing shopping center via a partnership with Alberta Development Partners were released in 2007.

It cited turning Metro North into an outdoor lifestyle center, although the plans fell through shortly after being released, due to the recession and death of mall owner Sherman Dreiseszun.

In 2010, new redevelopment plans with MD Management Inc. surfaced, with intent to revitalize the shopping center that by this time had fallen to 17 percent occupancy with only one remaining anchor.

[2] On March 10, 2015, MD Management announced that IAS Partners Ltd. would acquire the shopping center in a deal set to close in April 2015.

IAS envisions replacing the enclosed mall with a new open-air center that will include local and national retailers, multifamily housing and maybe office spaces.
