Second Phase additions to WESTLAND CENTER are shown in shades of gray. Sears opened its doors in March 1963. The final two store blocks were completed at this time. The shopping complex, which now spanned approximately 434,500 leasable square feet, had free parking provisions for 2,700 autos. The open-air mall would re-open, as a fully enclosed facility, in November 1968.
