Originally the site of the Westroads Shopping Center anchored by Stix, Baer & Fuller, the property was sold in 1984 to Hycel Properties, which demolished most of the mall except the Stix north wing, including Walgreens (demolished and now a recently closed Weber Grill restaurant),[4] and built the Saint Louis Galleria.

Dillard's, which had acquired the Stix chain, expanded the existing location at the same time, while retailer Mark Shale opened a major store.

The addition also included an emergency electric generator that can supply limited lighting and monitoring functions (but not full operations) during a power failure.

[6] Beginning April 20, 2007, after two incidents between teenagers and rampant shoplifting, anyone under 16 is required to be accompanied by someone at least 21 years old on Fridays and Saturdays after 3 pm.

In 2017, the mall was the site of protests after the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting of Anthony Lamar Smith.
