The Mall of Abilene began its development in 1977, when ground was broken for a new shopping complex in the growing southern reaches of Abilene. Developed by Paul Broadhead & Associates, the complex would initially cost $28 million to develop, with the mall opening to shoppers in March 1979.[2]
As the years progressed the makeup of these tenants had partially changed, at one point Grissom's was replaced by Dunlaps. Wilson's would re-open as Service Merchandise in 1985.
