The mall opened in 1969 with
The Macerich Company, the firm managing the property, purchased the property from the previous owner, Grosvenor.[5] In that same year, Macy's moved from the smaller Bon Marché building into the bigger Meier & Frank building (which it owns; not by The Macerich Company), sub-leasing its original location to Gottschalks, which opened a year later. After Sports Authority ceased operations, its former location was torn down to make way for two new restaurant locations. On March 12, 2019, it was announced that Round One Entertainment would be opening an amusement center in the former Gottschalks anchor building sometime in late 2019.[6]
In popular culture
In 1979, some scenes for the movie How to Beat the High Cost of Living were filmed in Valley River Center.
