History
The Visalia Mall was the first enclosed shopping mall in California when it opened in 1964.
In September 1997, the mall finished its $30 million renovation. This added a 450 seat food court, an additional 38,000 sq ft (3,500 m2) of space and a 3 story parking garage.
The mall was acquired in 1988 by Newman Brettin Properties. In 1997 it was purchased by JP Realty Inc. of Salt Lake City. The current owner is General Growth Properties.
