The CRABTREE VALLEY Lord & Taylor pulled up stakes in early 2006. The Upper level re-opened, as a Hudson Belk Men's Store, in mid-2007.

After some shuffling of stores -and a bit of reconstruction- Swedish specialty retailer H & M opened, in early 2010, in part of the Lower Level space once occupied by Thalhimers / Hecht's / Lord & Taylor.

Belk began consolidating its remaining "merchandising partnerships" in late 2010, a process which began in 1998. Many dual nameplates, some dating back to 1921, were brought under the singular Belk banner. With the latest reorganization, a new logo was unveiled. This spelled the end for Triangle-based Hudson Belk. From this time onward, it would be known as simply Belk.

A north side Streetscape was added to the mall's Upper Level in stages. P.F. Chang's began business in early 2002, followed by The Cheesecake Factory, in late 2003. The final installment, a Seasons 52 Fresh Grill, welcomed its first diners in early 2017.
