Shoppers who go to Westroads Mall to check out the new H&M store or get a head start on holiday shopping will notice a fresh look, now that the mall has completed a significant portion of its ongoing renovation.

The work is the fifth major renovation in the mall’s 46-year history and the first in a decade. Nebraska’s biggest mall now has 170,000 square feet of new porcelain tile flooring, fresh paint, modern light fixtures with energy-saving LED bulbs, energy-efficient escalators and new, more comfortable seating areas throughout.

Work continues this fall on a new food court, which will open next April or May, Sadler said. It’s on the upper level, west of the movie theater, and is a new prototype for mall owner General Growth Properties.

When the new food court opens, the food court built in 1991 will be demolished, replaced by a new retail area with “more of an upscale merchandise mix” of three or four new merchants, Sadler said.

Looks like General Growth is pretty determined to keep Westroads relevant and not allow it to befall the same fate as Southroads and Crossroads.

Good for Westroads. It's too bad that malls that are succeeding are going more upscale. I guess stripmalls, Walmart and Target, and the internet have replaced low end malls, while one that cater to the upper middle class such as Westroads are the malls that aren't struggling. I personally like the community of a shopping mall. I guess people like me who don't buy overpriced clothes aren't the people who like malls anymore since those malls are going away. I like the traditional food court they already have. And tearing the it down? That seems wasteful to me. Can't they just convert the space? All well. General Growth knows what they're doing. They have sold malls that were no longer successful (like Mall of The Bluffs) and are doing a great job at keeping the majority of their properties vibrant. It's too bad that that more malls and mall owners just let the decay like Crossroads. There'd be far more malls open still if they would have acted sooner.
