History edit
The shopping center opened August 3, 2007 with a JCPenney department store, marking the return of the retail chain to Nampa after a 19-year absence. The center was one of the keystones in the overall revitalization of Nampa's downtown in 2005.[1]
In January 2008, Sports Authority announced it would close its old Nampa location near Karcher Mall and construct a new 35,000 sq ft (3,300 m2) store in the shopping center.[2] In August 2008, Macy's announced it too would close its Karcher Mall store in late 2009 to move to the shopping center.[3] Sports Authority opened in September 2009 and Macy's opening in October 2009. A branch of the Idaho Athletic Club opened at the Nampa Gateway Center in 2009.[4] Nampa's second Edwards Cinemas opened in the center in November 2010.[5]
Sports Authority closed its store in January 2016. In July 2016, plans were approved for construction of a WinCo Foods, which opened in early 2017.[6] In January 2017, Macy's announced it will close later in 2017.[7] The store closed in April 2017.
The shopping center was sold by SITE Centers to RCG Ventures in late 2017.[8] It was sold again to Gardner Company in 2021.[9] In 2022, plans were announced to convert the Macy's building into the headquarters and technology center for House of Design Robotics.[10] In October 2022, Edwards Theaters was permanently closed.[11]
In February 2023, Gardner Company revealed plans to redevelop portions of the shopping center.[12] Plans call for the demolition and repurpose of the center's vacant retail space and the construction of 77 town houses and 168 apartments.[12]
