History

David Hocker and Richard E. Jacobs group developed the mall in 1980. Original tenants included Kroger/SuperX Drugstore, Kmart, and R. H. Hobbs department store.[3] Dawahares was also an anchor store. By 1983, R. H. Hobbs had closed and been converted to Watson's,[4] which in turn was sold to Peebles in 1998. The Kmart, now the site of Magic Mart, closed in 2002.[5] Dawahares is now Shoe Show.

Magic Mart announced that it would close the South Side Mall store in mid-2016.[6]
