HUNTINGTON CENTER was expanded just once. A Northwest Wing and Mervyn's anchor store were added in the mid-1980s. The rendering seen here depicted the new mall section, which encompassed 2 levels of selling space. An Upper Level Food Court was covered by a Teflon tent roof.

The renovation project wrapped up in November 1986. HUNTINGTON CENTER now encompassed approximately 1 million leasable square feet and contained around ninety stores and services. Its enlarged parking area had spaces for 4,500 autos.
A new logo was commissioned as part of the mid-'80s remodeling and expansion. However, the shopping hub was still being promoted as HUNTINGTON CENTER.

In 1991, a new moniker and logo were introduced. The shopping hub would now be known, henceforth, as HUNTINGTON BEACH MALL.
