Verde Investments, the real estate firm owned by billionaire Ernest Garcia II – the richest person in Arizona – in February completed the final land transaction for the 80-acre site, now dubbed Fiesta Redefined, where it intends to develop a sprawling mixed-use development complete with 4,000 new housing units, up to 1.85 million square feet of retail and commercial space and over 500,000 square feet of open space.

Musicland for a new record or cassette. Hickory Farms for Beef Jerky. I miss malls.

Many fond memories of Fiesta Mall...
Christmas shopping was a must here.
Hanging out with friends, people watching, and eating at the food court--were all rituals Blundt observed here in his youth and later as a dad.
Sears for electronics, Spencer's for gag gifts, Dillard's for new threads--were all part of the tour on this circuit.

Somethings in life should NEVER change.
