The expansion brought Town Center at Cobb up to 220 stores with a fifth anchor store.
Renovations were again completed in 1995. In 1996, J. C. Penney took over the former location of Mervyn’s. Rich’s and Macy’s were merged into one store, closing the tri-level Macy’s an original anchor. Part of the store is now a Macy’s Furniture Gallery, Macy’s Furniture Clearance Center.
