History
The mall opened in 1980.
Formerly owned by Jones Lang LaSalle of Chicago, Illinois, the mall was later owned by The Lightstone Group and sold again to CBL & Associates Properties in May 2012.
Barnes & Noble is located in the mall and opened on March 12, 2008. Also in 2008, Scheels All Sports expanded into a store previously occupied by Old Navy. As a result, Old Navy relocated within the mall.
On June 6, 2017, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide. The store closed in September 2017.
On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Herberger's would also be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 26, 2018. That space has been divided into smaller stores like Party City, Ross Dress For Less, T-Mobile, and Ulta Beauty.
