Livonia Mall
Livonia Mall opened its doors to shoppers during 1964, and was the second mall to be constructed in Livonia. The mall was developed by Jack Shenkman as an outdoor mall,[1] with Sears and Crowley's as anchor stores. At the time of its opening, Detroit's suburbs were expanding, and new shopping malls were being developed in these suburbs. Livonia already featured one such mall in Wonderland Center (later Wonderland Mall), which opened in 1959, was enclosed and expanded in the mid-1980s, and closed in 2004.

Wonderland Mall
From 1959 until 2004, a shopping mall called Wonderland Mall (previously Wonderland Center)[1] operated on the site. Originally an outdoor shopping center, Wonderland Mall was enclosed and expanded in the 1980s (with a second renovation in the late 1990s), although loss of major anchor stores and competition from nearby Westland Center caused Wonderland Mall to decline, eventually being classified as a dead mall. The old center was closed in 2004 and demolished a year later for construction of the newer shopping center.
