The Covered Mall concourse was dedicated in December 1967. A second anchor store was built on its roof. Buttreys Suburban welcomed its first shoppers in July 1969. It was connected with the mall below via a Speedwalk Speedramp, which was something akin to a vertical moving sidewalk.

In a circa-1969 plan, the Covered Mall is shown in medium gray. In addition to Wards and Buttreys Suburban, it featured a combo Buttreys Food and Osco Drug and single-screen Fox Holiday Theatre. HOLIDAY VILLAGE now covered approximately 510,300 leasable square feet and contained fifty-two stores and twelve leased office spaces. Its expanded parking area accommodated 5,000 autos.
