Reception
Partially due to the proximity of other malls, and also that the envisioned Imperial Highway (SR-90) and Beach Boulevard (SR-39) freeways were not built in time and thus never brought the expected traffic, the mall turned out to be disappointing and generally had disappointing sales performance.By 1987, at $27.8 million, annual sales were second to last of Orange County's 14 regional malls, and its sales per square foot were last of 48 regional malls in Southern California regional malls, at $50.78 versus, for example, $190.09 at South Coast Plaza.
The Bullock's store was closed in 1992, razed in the late 1990s and strip mall buildings were constructed in the mall's place.
