Yes. It was all razed for that Don Pablo's and Barnes and Noble I believe. Does anyone remember the gas station just across Woods Lake there when the mall opened? I believe it was right there between BK and The Gallery (Conn's and Gabes now) shopping center where that little strip mall is now that has Starbucks and formerly Kirkland's. The station had a water feature in the front in the 80's. It was like a fountain that bubbled up and spilled over a waterfall.
Also Conn's at the Gallery was originally an Ingles store and became Carolina Baby Superstore and Gabes was originally a Lechmere store then Phar-Mor, Rhodes Furniture, Steve&Barry's and now Gabes. lol. I loved Lechmere which was kind of similar to Best Buy back in the day.
There was a cool CD store there in 90s. Used CDs. Wasn't there also a pizza place in that strip mall?
Moved away 7 years ago but lived there for 25. I remember when we first moved in downtown shutdown at 6 and the only restaurants on the eastside were John Paul's and McDuffy's and no liquor on Sundays even in restaurants unless you joined this club for $5.

Yeah when we moved here in 95 there was no booze at all on Sundays. My parents were shocked. I was like it's the bible belt. What do you expect? Hah
A couple of other Haywood features back in the day:
Cork & Cleaver, which predated the Mall, and was a pretty good alternative to Steak & Ale. It sat roughly where the Discount Tire parking lot is. Only lasted a few years.
Carolina First Bank, which is now part of TD, started in that little now-TD branch building next to the Hilton entrance. Originally an SCN branch, I believe.
Also, Haywood used to terminate at Pelham. I suppose the Howell connector was built in rough conjunction with the Mall, but I don't recall that specifically. I just remember how incredibly convenient that cut-through was whenever it was built.
In a house across from the Open Hearth (RIP). We went there a lot when we returned to Greenville in the mid-90's. Sunday dinners. They had very good cakes and/or pastries, as I recall.

I seem to remember ice cream too. Open Hearth was good.

I always wondered why the road changed names after crossing Pelham! I never knew Haywood used to stop there.

I came from Massachusetts and for the longest time they didn't sell alcohol on Sundays but they did allow it in restaurants. Bars no so restaurants who had bars often had to close the bar area. I believe that ended in 2003 but they still have weird hours to avoid church time. Yeah on the parents. They came down for my birthday when we first moved there and it was on a Sunday so no wine or beer. My father wasn't really a drinker but he liked a beer when he went out to dinner which was a rare occasion.
