Chucktown's ASHLEY PLAZA MALL was developed in four phases. The first (in black) consisted of a J.M. Fields and Pantry Pride strip center. Condon's (in dark gray) was added in 1970. In 1972, these stores were joined by a fully-enclosed mall (in medium gray). The fourth phase would add the Ashley Plaza Cinema I & II, which was dedicated in 1973.

Following the demise of the mall's J.M. Fields, the store was reconfigured as a Woolco discount mart. It welcomed its first patrons in March 1980.
