 In 2006, as a result of the Federated Department Stores buyout of May Department Stores, Macy's moved to the former Filene's space.As a result, the former Macy's anchor space at the south end of the mall was left vacant, with many speculated possibilities for filling it.By 2009, Target had opened up a store on the ground floor, and Sports Authority had opened in half of the second floor.
