Opened in 1979, original anchors were Bullocks Wilshire (later rebranded as I. Magnin) and May Company California. In 1988 when May Department Stores almost sold the mall to T&S Development Inc., it had 48 stores and 362,420 square feet of retail space, but the deal fell apart at the last minute. Four years later, May Centers was finally able to sell La Jolla Village Square to Gordon/Beck Ventures in 1992 after a number of years of trying to locate a buyer for this particular property. The San Diego Reader called the mall in 1982 the city's ""carriage-trade" center" and noted that the pace seemed "genteel": A 1992 plan led to the closure of the department stores (I. Magnin closed in 1993) and repurposed the property as a power center anchored by general and discount retailers, rather than upscale ones, including Whole Foods Market and Sav-on Drugs (became CVS in 2006). ==References==
