By 2012, several major stores have either closed or been rebranded. Phar-Mor morphed into Steve & Barry's (2006) and then Dunham's Sports (2009). Proffitt's was "Belked" in 2006. On the mall's northeastern periphery, Borders Books and Old Navy stores opened in a freestanding strip center. Borders went dark in 2011 and was followed by hhgregg.

In a 2010s image, the mall's Northeast Entrance has "40th Anniversary" signage above its doors. A mall-wide birthday bash was held in August 2012.
