The drop of foot traffic by the loss of the anchors has caused other stores – the three aforementioned sub-anchor chains, plus Saks Off 5th, & Forever 21 – and the entire food court – including McDonald's, Starbucks, and Ranch 1 – to pull out from the mall.

Simon Property Group and unnamed co-owners of the Mall at the Source defaulted on a $124 million balloon interest-only mortgage in March 2009.

[6] On October 21, 2017, it was announced that the Mall at the Source would be redeveloped into a decoration hub for Lesso Home, which was originally scheduled to open in the fall of 2018, but has been delayed.

A few retailers, The Cheesecake Factory, Dave & Buster's, and a Fortunoff outdoor furniture and jewelry store remain open during renovations.

[8] Alan Fortunoff bought the entire property north of the current boundary of Transverse Drive from Roosevelt Raceway in the early 1980s.

Roughly half of the property was sold to Price Club (now Costco), which developed their portion to include a Kmart (now Walmart).

[10] 2009 saw the shuttering of all three anchor stores — Fortunoff, Steve & Barry's, and Circuit City — crippling foot traffic and resulting in a steady abandonment by its remaining tenants (outside of its restaurants, which maintained their standalone customers).

The opening of the nearby Gallery at Westbury Plaza in late 2012 prompted Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, and Saks Off 5th to move away, leaving the future of the mall uncertain.

David's Bridal moved to the nearby Roosevelt Raceway Shopping Center in June 2015, leaving the Fortunoff court almost completely vacant.

The court also used to contain Gymboree Play & Music, Famous Footwear, Golf Galaxy, and Men's Wearhouse & Tux.
