In January 2017, the mall was sold again to Kohan Retail Investment Group.

It also took the JCPenney anchor away from Willow Lawn and led Willow Lawn to eventually reposition itself as more of a community shopping center than a regional shopping destination.

In January 2021, demolition began on the former Macy's and Sears anchors to make room for an indoor sportsplex.

[5] The JCPenney building was also acquired in January 2021, and it, alongside the rest of the mall (excluding the American Family Fitness anchor), is planned to be razed and replaced with a mixed-use development anchored by the mentioned sportsplex and a hotel owned by Shamin Hotels.

[8] Among the mall's original anchor stores were Proffitt's and Leggett, a division of Belk.
