[edit] History

The mall was built in 1961, deriving its name from its owners, Harold and Marie Slawik. Twin Cities architect Willard Thorson, who also designed Apache Plaza in nearby St. Anthony, designed the mall. In 1971, the mall was expanded. The mall got another renovation after being heavily damaged in a tornado on 14 June 1981^[1]. Until the mid-1990s, Har Mar was in serious decline, losing stores and foot traffic. However, it has since become viable once more, gaining new tenants such as Barnes & Noble, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Dress Barn. The mall's two movie theater complexes closed in late 2006, as new theaters opened up at Rosedale Center.
