Middle Years
The mall was at 100% capacity and many stores were leading the nation in sales. The Karmelkorn Shoppe became the number one sales-leader in the nation for the month of December 1988 selling 16,250 pounds, or roughly eight tons, of popcorn; it was expected that it would be the number one chain again in December 1989 since same-store revenues had increased 30%. McAlpin's renovated their department store in 1993, freshening the interior with new tile, carpet and lighting fixtures, updating it with its first major update since it opened in 1971. They also opened an auxiliary store in the former Shopper's Choice/County Market after Heleringer's Furniture spent a short time in the building.
