 In early 2013, PPE Casino Resorts applied to the state gambling commission for a slots parlor in the rear area of the mall, where Marshalls and the food court are located now.The announcement led to some debate, with some concerned about the character of the mall and others optimistic about jobs and revenue a slots parlor could generate for the community.On November 25, 2019, it was announced that A.C. Moore would close all 145 locations, including the location at Liberty Tree Mall.
