By the early 2000s, EL CON MALL had been in a downward spiral for a number of years. It was reconfigured as the new EL CON MALL. Most of the 1960 structure was bulldozed and replaced with a new megaplex and Home Depot. An abandoned Montgomery Ward will soon be demolished. The west anchor has gone through a succession of different nameplates. At this time, it is operating as a So-Cal-based Robinsons-May.
