Like many a mid-century mall, NORMANDY replaced a shuttered drive-in. The Normandy Outdoor Theatre, seen here, was in operation between April 1949 and March 1963.

The first operational NORMANDY MALL store was a freestanding Montgomery Ward, which had opened for business in 1964. The aforementioned Woolco debuted in 1969. A fully-enclosed mall and adjacent Convenience Center (in light gray) were completed in late 1970. At this time, the shopping hub housed approximately 371,300 leasable square feet, with free parking for 1,836 autos.
