This shopping center opened in 1985 with one of the last new Zayre store built in the state before Zayre was acquired by Ames. The plaza was built on site of a former Drive-In Theater. For some reason, the shopping center looked half-built for ever with plenty of space to expand. There was enough space to extend the existing wing of small stores and add a large store or supermarket as shown below.

Zayre became Ames after the acquisition in 1989-90. As one point, Walmart opened a store right across Ames adding strong competition. The chain went out of business and the store closed in October 2002.
