and Greenville Mall competed with a mix of different anchors. Greenville's fourth enclosed mall, Bell Tower Mall, was converted into offices in the mid-1980s.
In 1995, Dillard's announced that it would close its smaller McAlister Square location and build a three-level store at Haywood. For its part, the mall constructed a wing to connect the new anchor, bringing the mall to 1300000 square feet (120,774 m²), as well as a parking deck and new Belk entrance. Haywood was then able to lure several higher-end specialty shops away from its rivals and position itself as the region's preeminent mall.
The mall underwent a significant interior renovation in 2005, the same year that the Rich's
name was retired by Federated Stores and converted to Macy's
. After the renovation, many of the mall's tenants as well as Macy's
and Belk
significantly remodeled their store. Also, many new high-end retailers joined, such as Pottery Barn
and Williams-Sonoma
. The following year, Haywood gained press when American Eagle Outfitters
selected the mall to host its first Aerie store in the world. On July 10, 2010 Apple opened one of its largest stores in the Carolinas at Haywood Mall on the lower level next to Abercrombie & Fitch.
