After many years of decline, the mall closed in November 2010, and demolition began in late October 2014 to make way for a movie studio.

In the early 1990s, under new management, the mall began a slight decline as less money was spent on advertising while some of the anchors cut back on inventory.

[2] In 1996, after the nearby Fayette Pavilion opened, some stores including Linens 'n Things and Toys "R" Us left the mall.

[3][4] In March 1998,[1] Macy's moved out of the former Davison's building which would remain unoccupied for the duration of the mall's operation.

In 1999, the mall underwent a $10 million renovation which saw the floor replaced with Italian tile, an enhanced ceiling, new benches with softer seating, a new look to the three main entrances with a lighter color scheme, removal of the food court's elevated seating area and a downgrade in the size of the mall's central fountain.

Maxx-Fun had plans to take over the entire wing by adding a bowling alley, a comedy club, and other entertainment venues in the vacant store fronts.

Additionally, near the food court main entrance, a large multi-monitor display once existed - showing mall-related advertisements.

In one wing, there existed a large metal sculpture of a clown on a unicycle - animated and positioned below one of the ceiling skylights.

The Fayette Pavilion was supposed to be another enclosed mall for the south side, but city and county zoning laws prohibited such.

The proposed mall in Newnan became Ashley Park - an open-air shopping center that featured restaurants and retailers such as Belk and Dillard's.

Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles looked into opening up a store in the mall but chose to be near the bowling alley instead.

Some of the vacant spots were filled by independent and startup retailers, but many of them ultimately left due to the lack of business.

In 2009, according to an interview of Maria Allen (former Marketing Director) in Home Rule News, the mall had only 32 stores left (including the big-box anchors).

Event planners hit snags, as Union City required permits and variances, as the mall was not zoned for assembly usage.

In addition, several firms were brought in to provide entertainment for mall patrons such as live radio broadcasting, stage plays, town hall meetings, fashion shows, and others.

However, although they initially stayed open after the mall's closure, Macy's announced in January 2011 its plans to leave.

[7] By January 3, 2011, the foreclosed mall remained closed, and was auctioned at the Fulton County Courthouse the following day.
