A THRUWAY logo montage consists of trademarks for stores that operated in the shopping center during the 1950s, '60s and '70s.  

By 1971, several PLAZA stores have come and gone. A freestanding Acme Markets grocery (in dark gray) welcomed first shoppers in June 1960. AM&A's (in medium gray) opened a brand new store in November 1971. The open-air shopping hub now covers approximately 760,000 leasable square feet and contains fifty-five stores and services.

THRUWAY PLAZA was given a thorough renovation in the mid-1970s. The northern section of the shopping concourse was enclosed, with the southern part -and stores such as J.C. Penney- left out in the rain and snow. A grand re-opening was held in July 1975. The remainder of the mallway would be enclosed as part of a "South Court" expansion. This project was completed in 1980.
