A site plan from 1977 shows the recently-added Brandeis branch. The mall's first anchor nameplate change rebranded the center department store under a Younker-Kilpatricks banner. The mall's Fox theater has also been split into and renamed the Fox Twin. With these -and other- modifications, the mall enclosed 157 stores and services.
By 1991, the
Grand Cafe Food Court has been
built in an abandoned sporting goods store (which was originally a supermarket). Brandeis closed after that chain was absorbed by Younkers, in 1987. The store operated as a
Younkers West specialty store, which closed in June 1990. The
Fox Twin has merged with the
Six West across the way. The combined venues are now known as the
Westroads 8.
