In an early 2000s layout, we see that one third of the mall structure -and its east anchor- have been demolished. Two vertically-stacked big box stores have been built on the east end, which have only exterior entries. This "divorced department stores" arrangement would contribute to the mall's eventual failure.

A renovation plan proposed in 2014 would have had the moribund mall's inline store space refurbished and retenanted with big box-type retailers. The official name would have also been changed to OUTLETS @ RHODE ISLAND MALL.

Along with the new mall moniker came a restyled logo. It was seen on the website of one of the RHODE ISLAND MALL redevelopers. They also announced an official grand opening date (that never happened).
