History

When Fashion Square Mall opened in 1972, it featured two major anchor stores: JCPenney and Sears, at the southern and northern ends, respectively, with a straight corridor connecting the two. Two smaller, local department stores were also placed off to the side: Heavenrich's was adjacent to JCPenney, and Wiechmann's was located on a side hallway near Sears.Fact|date=December 2007 Hudson's, a chain based in Detroit, Michigan, was added in 1976 to the eastern end, as a third major anchor.cite web |url=http://www.mlive.com/business/saginawnews/index.ssf?/base/business-2/1191507736290340.xml&coll=9 |title=Fashion Square Mall at 35: "We're staying strong" (page 1 of 2) |accessdate=2007-12-26 |last=Wyche |first=Paul |date=2007-10-04 |work=The Saginaw NewsDead link|date=May 2008]

Heavenrich's closed in the 1980s, with Dunham's Sports eventually taking its place.Fact|date=December 2007 Wiechmann's remained in operation until the early 1990s, when its space was replaced with a food court.Fact|date=December 2007 A $10 million mall-wide renovation was completed in 2001, with the addition of new seating areas, family restrooms, and automatic doors.

Dunham's Sports also moved out in the 2000s, with Steve & Barry's taking its place in 2005.
