Promoted as "more beautiful, more resplendent, more elegant than anything you could imagine," the double-decked shopping complex was also hailed as a "miracle of modern retailing." It originally housed eighty-two stores and services, including Hughes & Hatcher, Lerner Shops, a 1-level F.W. Woolworth 5 & 10 and two supermarkets. The ample parking area had spaces for nearly 8,000 autos.
