By the turn of the century, Dillard's has rebranded Ivey's and then built a new store. Montgomery Ward set up shop in the vacant Dillard's / Ivey's. A cinema, installed inside the mall during the early 1980s, was replaced with a freestanding venue. It was enlarged in 1999. With these modifications, the mall spans 1,400,000 leasable square feet and contains 170 stores. Parking provisions are provided for 7,550 autos.
