Today its flagship stores areBest Buy and Target (which comprises the top two floors), and it contains many smaller stores such asRed Lobster ,Outback Steakhouse ,Skechers , DSW Shoes,Cold Stone Creamery ,Sprint Nextel ,Macy*s Furniture Gallery, andStarbucks .The mall originally was planned as a traditional rectangular construction designed to replace several blocks of residences. However, the owner of the corner property staunchly refused to sell what had been her childhood home, and as a result the shopping center was reconfigured as a circle overshadowing the tiny house, where the woman continued to live until her death.
