In its original state, MIDDLETOWN MALL covered around 472,000 leasable square feet. The fully-enclosed complex was anchored by the aforementioned Parsons-Souders, along with W.T. Grant and a full-line Sears. There were forty stores and services and free parking for 2,100 autos.

A few changes have been made by 1976. Parsons-Souders is now a Stone & Thomas, with the Grants space now occupied by Ira. A. Watson, a.k.a. Watson's. Moreover, a Gee Bee discount mart has been built. This addition, which increased the gross leasable area of the mall to around 532,000 square feet, would be the only expansion ever done to the complex.
