History
The Mall opened in 1960 as an open air center with anchors, D. H. Holmes, JCPenney, and Godchaux's. The mall expanded to an enclosed mall in 1969. On November 5, 1975 JCPenney reopened as a new 2 level location which is still operating today. The old JCPenney was gutted for more stores, and the Mall turned into one of the biggest in the state. D. H. Holmes became Dillard's in 1989, and a new Food Court was added soon after. Another expansion soon happened with a New Macy's and a New Parking Garage was added. Macy's opened in 2008. And the latest expansion happened with the renovation of the Food Court and the opening of Zara.Anchors
