History
After the project stalled again in the mid-1970s, the
In 1981, the mall was expanded, adding an east wing and a
In 1995, the mall underwent a major renovation, remodeling much of the interior of the mall.
Simon Property Group acquired Bay Park Square when they merged with the mall's owners, the DeBartolo Corporation.[6]
Montgomery Ward closed in 2001. In 2003, the south wing was expanded and a new Younkers department store was built. Elder-Beerman closed in 2007 following their acquisition by Younkers' parent company, The Bon-Ton. A Younkers Furniture Gallery later replaced the Elder-Beerman store. Both stores closed in mid-2018 due to Bon-Ton's bankruptcy and the entire chain going out of business.[7] Shopko would meet the same fate on June 16, 2019, when the last of its stores, including the Bay Park Square store, closed (its corporate headquarters was located directly across from the mall and remains vacant).[8]
In 2019, a plan was announced to have Dave & Buster's occupy the former Younkers Furniture space. Panda Express, Blaze Pizza and Mission BBQ also announced plans to build in outlets on the mall property.[9]
Dave & Buster's opened in January 2021 after a delayed opening due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Panda Express opened in late 2020 in the parking lot of Dave & Buster's. Waukesha-based Steinhafels Furniture opened in the former Younkers space in early April 2022, with a portion of its southeast side subdivided into a future store space. Chick-fil-A opened its first northeastern Wisconsin location in the front of the mall near Dave & Busters in March 2022.[10] Supermarket chain Hy-Vee opened its largest store in the former Shopko space on November 8, 2022; it does not have an entrance in the actual mall.
