When Fashion Square Mall opened in 1972, it featured two major anchor stores: JCPenney and Sears, at the southern and northern ends, respectively, with a straight corridor connecting the two. Two smaller, local department stores were also placed off to the side: Heavenrich's was adjacent to JCPenney, and Wiechmann's was located on a side hallway near Sears.^{[citation needed]} Hudson's, a chain based in Detroit, Michigan, was added in 1976 to the eastern end, as a third major anchor.^[2]

Heavenrich's closed in the 1980s, with Dunham's Sports eventually taking its place.^{[citation needed]} Wiechmann's remained in operation until the early 1990s, when its space was replaced with a food court.^{[citation needed]} A $10 million mall-wide renovation was completed in 2001, with the addition of new seating areas, family restrooms, and automatic doors.^[3] The same year, reflecting nameplate consolidation by Hudson's parent Target Corp., the mall's eastern anchor was re-branded as Marshall Field's; by 2006, Marshall Field's would be among several nameplates to be converted to the Macy's name.^[2] Dunham's Sports also moved out in the 2000s, with Steve & Barry's taking its place in 2005.^[4]
