Kroger moved into its second FRANDOR location in March 1962. The store, ultra-modern in every way, featured a door-less, "air curtain" entry.

In late 1972, FRANDOR CENTER has just completed the first stage of its enclosing project. Previous to this, Kroger moved into a new store (in gray) and a twin cinema (also in gray) was added to the mall superblock. The Mall Court, at the center of the CENTER, remains open-air and will not be roofed-in until 1977.


The mall's Federal store went dark in January 1973. Kroger eventually filled the vacancy, establishing its third FRANDOR location in April 1976. By the time of this layout, the Mall Court at FRANDOR has been enclosed with a skylight roof , the freestanding cinema is a tri-plex and the Clippert Building (in dark gray) has been dedicated.
