[3] Created by enclosing three blocks of Western Avenue and building a department store at each end - Sears at one end, and Grand Rapids-based Steketee's at the other - the mall also resulted in the closure of parts of First, Second, and Jefferson streets.

[4] It was the most popular shopping center in Muskegon County by 1989,[5] despite the Hardy's-Herpolsheimer's store closing the same year.

[5] The mall continued to lose tenants throughout the 1990s, when retail stores were built along Sternberg Road at US Highway 31 southeast of town.

Muskegon Mall closed in December 2001 and demolition began on the structure in November 2003.
