History
Jim Wilson & Associates built the mall in 1976. A wing anchored by McRae's was added in 1984; the store became Belk in 2006. Gayfers, an original anchor of the mall, became Dillard's in 1998. A carousel was installed in 1996.
It was sold in 1987 to California Public Employees Retirement System, sold back to Jim Wilson in 1997, and re-sold in 2003.
The mall underwent structural damage after Hurricane Opal in late 1995.
In 2007, the mall underwent renovations which included new flooring and the opening of new restaurants. Space was also made for a Ross Dress for Less store, although it never opened. The area ultimately became a Planet Fitness in 2013.
Belk, which took over the former McRae's store, announced its closure in December 2013.
