Retail shopping in the quad-cities area has undergone tremendous change since the 1990s. For about 25 years, Ponderosa Plaza (now The Village at the Boulders) was considered the primary shopping center in the area. That changed when Westcor Realty L.P. built and opened the Prescott Gateway Mall to the public in March 2002. At the time, about 70 stores and restaurants agreed to set up shop, filling about 80 percent of the property's available space, according to reports by The Daily Courier at the time.
