The physical structure of the complex remained virtually unchanged until the mid-1980s. A renovation installed a Food Court and the name of the complex was changed to OAKWOOD MALL. Mervyn's joined the tenant list in November 1986. A new K & B Drug also replaced an existing store. With these modifications, the facility spanned approximately 793,000 leasable square feet and housed 100 stores and services.

A major expansion was done between August 1990 and March 1994. Dillard's built a new store, which replaced a rebranded D.H. Holmes. An extended South Wing was anchored by Maison Blanche. Now officially promoted with its original name, OAKWOOD CENTER encompasses approximately 1,087,800 leasable square feet and houses 106 stores and services. Free parking is provided for 4,500 autos.
