Parisian anchored the mall's Northwest Wing between 1989 and 2007. An entity known as the South Carolina Science Academy considered leasing the building's second floor in mid-2013. Unfortunately for the mall, they decided on another location for their campus.

Between 1987 and 2010, the official name of the shopping hub changed four times. These logos depict some of the mall's many incarnations. The first trademark was introduced in late 1996. The second made its debut in late 2006, with the final logo being implemented in early 2010.

Barnes & Noble dedicated their RICHLAND store in late 1997. TGI Fridays relocated from another space in the mall around this time. The restaurant was shuttered in March 2013. Barnes & Noble pulled the plug on their store in early 2024, in anticipation of a major redevelopment of the shopping hub.
