By the mid-1980s, GREENBRIAR MALL was in dire need of an upgrade. An 18 million dollar indoor-outdoor face lift was done between January and November 1987. Twenty new stores were introduced to the mall, including a new Uptons (which replaced a vacant J.C. Penney).

The mall's west anchor opened, in August 1965, as Greater Atlanta's first full-line Penneys. After this store's September 1985 shuttering, the building housed an Uptons for 5 years. Burlington Coat Factory began business in September 1995 and closed for good in February 2019.
