When Mercantile Stores' Glass Block store was acquired by Dillard's, the anchor was then sold to Younkers. The front facade displays many of the stores along U.S. Highway 53. In 2001, Longtime anchor Montgomery Ward was replaced by DSW Shoe Warehouse, Barnes & Noble and Old Navy, and the movie theater became Great American Bar & Grill, greatly improving the look of the front façade due to new architectural designs. In 2007 the front façade and surrounding space in front of the recently vacated Walgreens was demolished. Inside the mall the entire section of the mall that used to house Walgreens and a few other small unsuccessful stores was walled off. This area is now home to a lifestyle center which includes a brand-new mall entrance and stores facing the highway including Men's Wearhouse, Noodles and Company, Chipotle, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and AT&T. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Younkers would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018. On May 31, 2018, it was announced Sears would also be closing in September 2018 as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide which left Dick's Sporting Goods and JCPenney as the only traditional anchors left.
