History of Nampa Gateway Center
Opening and Early Years
Nampa Gateway Center first opened its doors on August 3, 2007. One of the first big stores to open was J. C. Penney. This was a special event because J. C. Penney had not been in Nampa for 19 years! The new center was an important part of making Nampa's downtown area better.
In January 2008, a sports store called Sports Authority decided to move. They closed their old store near Karcher Mall. Then, they built a new, bigger store at Nampa Gateway Center. This new store was about 35,000 square feet.
New Stores and Changes
More big changes happened in August 2008. The department store Macy's announced it would also move from Karcher Mall. Macy's planned to open a new store at Nampa Gateway Center in late 2009.
