In the mid-1970s, a mall within a mall area was installed in the upper level of CRABTREE VALLEY (above G.C. Murphy). This facility was known as The Courtyard. During the 1984-'85 face lift, the section was renovated, with a new Food Court and boutique concourse created. Renamed The Pavilion, it is promoted, along with the Convenience Center, in this 1989 logo.

A second renovation got underway in early 1992 and was not finished until early 1996. The west end of the mall was rebuilt with new Sears and Hecht's units. The original Sears (medium gray) was made into an extended wing of inline stores. The Pavilion Food Court was expanded and an abandoned Thalhimers rebuilt as a Lord & Taylor. The mega mall now covered 1,360,000 leasable square feet.


The Main Entrance was rebuilt in 2007. In this image, we see a North Face store, which was dedicated in November 2010. The Starbucks on the right has since relocated to the West Wing of the complex.

Renovations at CRABTREE VALLEY MALL continued into the 21st century. A Restaurant Row was built between the Convenience Center and Hudson Belk. It's three upscale eateries opened between July and October 2008. A new parking structure, the Green Deck, was also constructed.
