History

The May Department Stores Company built the mall[2] in 1974 with Famous-Barr, J. C. Penney, and Sears. Stix Baer & Fuller built a store on the mall site in 1979.[3] This store became Dillard's in 1984.

It was sold to The Hahn Company in 1989.[4] A food court was added in the early 1990s.[2] Hahn then sold it to CBL & Associates Properties in 1996.[2] At the time, it was the fifth-largest mall in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area.[5] Famous-Barr became Macy's in 2006.[6] The same year, the Dillard's store was expanded by 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2).[7]
