Muncie Mall opened in 1970 with Britt's, W. T. Grant, and Sears as its anchor stores. Other major tenants upon opening included a National Tea supermarket and Osco Drug. Britt's and Grant's, both later became L. S. Ayres and JCPenney, respectively. Another major tenant was Ball Stores, which later became Elder-Beerman. 
In 1997, after L. S. Ayres vacated the central anchor spot for a new store in the mall, the former Ayres building became a new Elder-Beerman store. Elder-Beerman continued to operate a home goods store within the former Ball Stores. L .S. Ayres' newer store became Macy's in 2006. Books-A-Million opened its fourth Indiana store at the mall in 2006. Old Navy, which replaced the Elder-Beerman home store, closed in 2010. Elder-Beerman became Carson's in 2012. On April 18, 2018, Carson's announced that its store would be closing in August 2018 as a result of liquidation of their parent company, Bon-Ton. On May 31, 2018 Sears announced that they would also be closing as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide.
