A refurbished LLOYD CENTER Ice Rink is now oval in shape (instead of rectangular). It is also a bit smaller than the previous Ice Chalet.

A 3-level spiral staircase has been installed at a newly-created Main Entrance. It harkens back to a 2-level circular stairway that was a fixture of the East Wing between 1960 and 1989.

During the 2010s makeover, the exterior of LLOYD CENTER was made more pedestrian-friendly. Several stores were opened up to adjacent parking areas and city streets.

Alas, the massive 2014-2017 renovation wrapped up just as an anchor exodus was getting underway. Nordstrom shut down in January 2015. Sears pulled their proverbial plug in September 2018, with Marshalls going dark in January 2019. Macy's pulled up stakes in January 2021...leaving the mall with no operational anchor stores.
Amidst all of the store closings, one charter tenant remains in business and is still at its original location in the mall. Joe Brown's Carmel Corn has been serving its own special recipe of carmelized popcorn at LLOYD CENTER since 1960.
