Other stores located there included Piccadilly Cafeterias, Miller & Rhoads, Montaldo's (a high-end women's fashion boutique), a Big Star Supermarket, Central Carolina Bank and Trust (now Truist), and a four-screen movie theater.

Montgomery Ward vacated its space in 1985 as part of a corporate restructuring move made by the company.

Big Star closed its store in 1988 after being bought out by Harris Teeter, only to have the space filled by an Office Depot.

The mall was eventually razed in 2004 to make way for a big box retail hub that includes a SuperTarget, Sam's Club, Ross Dress for Less, and Petco.

The lone remnants of the mall's former life an Office Depot and Firestone have since remained open and have been integrated into the newly built development, which retains the "South Square" name.
