In 1989, The Parks was expanded and Houston-based Foley's (now Macy's) was added as the fourth anchor store.[4] Five years later, JCPenney was added as the fifth anchor store.
It expanded again in 2002 with a new wing featuring Galyan's (now Dick's Sporting Goods) and The Great Indoors.[5][6] The Great Indoors closed in 2003[7] and the space was taken over by Steve & Barry's in the mid-2000s.[citation needed]
