An early 2000s view of the north end of the complex. The building seen here was built as a Sears. This store closed in 1989. It was replaced by a Hills discount mart, which morphed into an Ames before being shuttered in the year 2001. More recently, the structure -with its Sears Auto Center having been demolished- was divided four ways.

A freestanding building at the south end of the mall site operated as a supermarket for several years. More recently, the structure was leased as a Sears Catalog & Appliance ("Home Store") and DFW Furniture.
