[edit] History

Metrocenter Mall opened in 1978 with 130 shops on two levels. Original anchor stores included McRae's, Gayfers, and Dillard's. By 1998, due to the merger of Gayfers and Dillard's, the former was closed and replaced with Burlington Coat Factory. McRae's was converted to Belk in 2003; Dillard's closed in 2004 and is vacant.
