[1] The opening day celebrations included appearances by Billy Carter, Ed McMahon of The Tonight Show, soccer star Kyle Rote Jr. and Olympic runner Jim Ryun. [2] In 1999, Montgomery Ward and the Service Merchandise that moved into the former Wilson's location closed. [1] In March 2006, Dillard's closed their location at the mall, leaving Sears as the last anchor left. [3] LifeChurch purchased the 102,000 square foot Dillard's for a discontinued $1.5 million in 2007 making it the sixth Oklahoma City area campus. [4] After being for sale since May 2009, the owner of Heritage Park Mall announced the property would close February 15, 2010, leaving a handful of stores to close. [2] The Mall's owner Daniel Rafalian purchased the mall for $7.2 million in 2005, but was asking $3.75 million. [2] At the time, the mall accounted for 51% of retail vacancy in east Oklahoma County. [2] In July 2011, the 232,000 square foot inline section of the mall sold to Ahmad Bahreini for a discounted $1.3 million. [4] In summer 2017, it was announced that Sears would close its location, leaving LifeChurch as the sole anchor. [5] The store closed in October.
