The complex was given a thorough refurbishment in 1989. New flooring, skylights and landscaping were installed in the interior. New exterior entrances were also built. The one seen above accessed the mall's Bacon's / Dillard's Court.

During its 30-year trajectory, the BASHFORD MANOR MALL was never physically expanded. However, stores came and went. By 1999, all anchors had been rebranded. Bacon's became a Dillard's in October 1998. Ben Snyder's operated as a Hess's and Bacon's Store For The Home before its Dillard's For The Home conversion.


By 2003, after years of decline, BASHFORD MANOR MALL had run its course. Its few operational stores were shuttered in July, with demolition commencing in December. Only the Bacon's / Dillard's building was left standing. The remainder of the mall was replaced by WalMart and the Lowe's seen here. This store opened in September 2005.

The abandoned Bacon's / Dillard's was finally demolished in 2008. It was replaced by a newly-built Burlington (Coat Factory), which made its debut in March 2009. The store is a shadow anchor of the BASHFORD MANOR PLAZA strip center.
