A second department store, to anchor the east end of the complex, was originally planned to be a Macy's San Francisco. This never came to fruition. By 1975, work was underway on a new Montgomery Ward, which welcomed shoppers in March 1976.

A newly-enclosed CENTRE MALL opened in October 1970. Stores in the original 1950s strip center were extended 40 feet to connect with the new south side concourse. As Wards was being built, the enclosed mall was extended eastward 300 feet to connect with it. By 1976, COUNTRY CLUB CENTRE spanned approximately 680,000 leasable square feet, housed fifty-two tenant spaces and had parking provisions for 2,500 autos.
