The center opened as Lakeshore Plaza in 1970, featuring Roses Stores and JCPenney. Belk-Gallant joined in 1973 as a third anchor. An expansion in 1987 added a new wing on the opposite side of JCPenney, which included a Sears, a food court, and a movie theater. Also, the Roses store became a second Belk. In 1998, the mall was sold to Colonial Properties, and again in 2010 to Garrison Investment Group.
