Hugh Codding constructed the Coddingtown Mall in the year 1962. It was originally an outdoor mall until it was enclosed in 1979. The 1984 conversion of Liberty House into a Macy's store was also incorporated during the expansion. The Emporium left its old location in 1996, and Macy's came in. Gottschalks thus relocated into the former Liberty House/Macy's structure. In 2005, Codding sold Simon Property Group a 50% stake in the shopping center. Many business owners criticized Simon for failing to bring chain stores to the mall after the sale to Simon. For a Whole Foods Market, whose debut was eventually postponed until 2010, a Ralphs grocery in the mall was destroyed in 2008, and Gottschalks shuttered in 2009.
