[3] To keep attracting customers, the developers expanded the mall in the late 1990s by adding, Auntie Anne's, Subway, and Regal Cinemas.

[citation needed] In September 2012, the Texas-based M&R Investors purchased the West Manchester Mall for approximately $17.5 million.

The group planned a $47 million renovation, which would keep the existing anchor stores and demolish the mall to create a new outdoor shopping center called the West Manchester Town Center, similar to the Hunt Valley Towne Centre in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

A demolition permit was filed and West Manchester Mall closed permanently in 2014 to prepare for the redevelopment.

[10] Retailers such as Petco, Burlington Coat Factory, and DSW Shoe Warehouse were confirmed as upcoming tenants in the redevelopment.
