The mall was developed by Richard E. Jacobs and was opened on September 22, 1966. The mall originally had three anchors which were Higbee's, JCPenney and Woolworth. In late 1967, Sears had opened which added four anchors to Midway Mall. In 1992, Higbee's was renamed into Dillard's. In 1994, Woolworth had closed and was replaced with Best Buy a year later in 1995. In 1989, Midway Mall closed for renovations done to the mall, renovations were completed in August 1990, adding a fifth anchor which was May Company, as well as a new food court and renovated exterior entrances. On January 31 1993, May Company was renamed to Kaufmann's. In 2001, Midway Mall was sold to Westfield Group and the mall was renamed to Westfield Midway. In 2004, a sixth anchor was added to the mall which was Steve & Barry's. In May 2006, Westfield Midway was sold to Centro Properties Group and the mall was renamed back to Midway Mall, the mall would then be sold once again to The Woodmont Company. In September 2006, Kaufmann's was renamed into Macy's. In 2007, Dillard's had closed down as they were closing underperforming store locations. In 2016, Macy's had closed down. In 2017, Sears had closed down. On July 5, 2019, JCPenney closed down, and a lot of tenants in the mall started closing because of that.
