History

The mall opened in 1982 with J. C. Penney, Dillard's, Sears, Bealls, and The White House. Target was added in 2004.[2] Hurricane Rita destroyed the roof of the Dillard's store, which reopened in 2006.[3][4] Hobby Lobby, which replaced the former White House store, was damaged beyond repair.[5] Other parts of the mall sustained roof damage as well.[6]

Bed Bath & Beyond joined the mall in late 2006-early 2007.[7] Steve & Barry's, added in 2005, closed in 2008.[8] The space was previously Old Navy, which closed in 2004.[9]

In 2013, TJ Maxx and Shoe Dept. Encore were added.[10] The former replaced a Luby's and a Gap which had closed in 2005,[11] and the latter replaced the former Old Navy/Steve & Barry's.
