History
Developed by Glendale Associates, a partnership between J.S. Griffiths Co, Broadway Hale Stores, and M.J. Brock & Sons, the mall opened on October 14, 1976. The architect was Jon Jerde, who credited his design to a Ray Bradbury essay on reviving retail districts.
It was the location for the first Panda Express restaurant that opened in 1983. By 1990, the mall was 1,600,000 square feet (150,000 m2) in size, and had annual revenues of $350 million.
This mall also includes the first three-story Target in the United States. It was also selected by Apple Inc. as the location of one of the first two Apple Stores in the world (along with Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia); both officially opened on May 19, 2001.
