Summary, model-written
River Falls Mall opened in 1990 as an enclosed mall with 762,000 square feet of GLA, featuring entertainment venues and retail. After losing the majority of its tenants, it was redeveloped in 2006 into a power center that includes Dick's Sporting Goods, Old Time Pottery, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Gabe's Department Store, and Bass Pro Shops. The site currently operates as that power center.
