Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet!


By the 1980s, MISSION CENTER had been usurped by bigger and better enclosed malls in its trade area. The complex was demolished, leaving only its Macy's building intact. The dual-level MISSION CENTER mall was built. A "double-header" Dillard's was included, that repurposed the old Macy's (in black). It was now Dillard's South, a women's & home store.


The fully-enclosed complex spanned approximately 351,000 leasable square feet and contained fifty-two stores under its roof.
