Northridge Mall opened in 1972 with sixty stores and Emporium Capwells, J.C. Penney, and Mervyns as anchor stores. While the Sears, which now sits at the south end of the Mall, already existed, it was neither connected to nor affiliated with the Mall at this time. It was not until the new south wing was added in 1982 that the pre-existing Sears outlet became part of the Mall. The new wing also nearly doubled the shopping center's retail space and stores.

In 1994 the Mall was remodeled and in 1996 the Emporium Capwells outlet was replaced by Macy's; both Sears and J.C. Penney underwent extensive remodels. In 1998 the Mervyns outlet was extensively remodeled to incorporate the brand's new image.
