The mall features the traditional retailers Macy's, Boscov's, L.L. Bean, Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods Market, in addition to a 13-screen, stadium-seating, Regal Cinemas & RPX. Previously, the mall housed a Christmas Tree Shops, which closed in 2023.

By 2019, the original Sears auto center had been reconstructed for both BJ's Restaurants and Ethan Allen.[5] In August 2017, Sears announced it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its traditional brick-and-mortar format. A number of potential replacement tenants have reportedly been in the midst of early on discussions with property owner and developmental arm Seritage Growth Properties.[6]

On June 29, 2023, it was announced Christmas Tree Shops would be shuttering after finding itself unable to satisfy their long-term established debt due to ongoing supply chain shortages.[7]

On July 5, 2023 it was announced that Sierra and Floor & Decor would both be dividing and reconstructing the space which originally had been Sears.[6]
