Although several sources indicate that the NORTHGATE Sears was a mall anchor since 1972, our research shows that said store did not open for business until February 1974. Anyway, Sears closed for good in February 2019.

In 2025, the mall is in a state of transition. J.C. Penney and Sears went south in the 2010s. Sears was demolished in late 2024, with a new BJ's Wholesale Club taking its place. At this juncture, the mall proper houses twenty-six stores, with five outparcel stores and ten freestanding restaurants.
