Weather or Not, Come To Eastland. A fully-enclosed upper mall was dedicated in November 1979. Mervyn's had opened a newly-built store in August. An 8-tenant Mini Mall (dark gray) had been installed -in existing store space- in 1972. When construction dust from the 10 million dollar roofing renovation settled, the mall covered approximately 841,800 leasable square feet. There were sixty-five stores and free parking for 2,500 autos.


By 1999, the mall isn't a mall anymore. A 1997 demalling gutted and reconfigured the Upper Level with four big box stores. An abandoned May Company was bulldozed and replaced by Target and Burlington Coat Factory. A new owner has also bequeathed a new name; WESTFIELD SHOPPINGTOWN EASTLAND. The power center spans 783,000 leasable square feet and contains thirty-six stores.
