The mall opened in 1977 and has since been renovated in 1991, 1993 (expansion),[1] 2007, and 2012.[2] It is located along Interstate 35 in the city's rapidly growing retail hub of town. Mall del Norte is 1,212,515 sq ft (112,646 m^2) with over 160 stores, making it the 2nd largest mall in South Texas, and one of the largest malls in Texas overall.
