It was built in 1953[1] and expanded in 1965 with the addition of a May Company California department store.[2] Arcadia-based Hinshaw's and Pasadena-based Nash's were other major tenants.[3]

After the center was destroyed by the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, its owners began renovating it as a strip mall.[4][5] Hinshaw's, the only store not affected by the earthquake, closed in 1992.[6]

The current shopping center includes Burlington Coat Factory (which opened in 1999[7] in the old Hinshaw's), Michael's, Old Navy, Rubi's, Ross Dress for Less, Staples, Rite Aid (formerly Thrifty Drugs), Vallarta Supermarkets (formerly Ralphs), Olive Garden, Chili's, and TJ Maxx.[8]
