The single-level wing of specialty stores opened, with thirty-four initial stores, on March 5, 1970. The architect for both was Burke, Kober, Nicolais & Archuleta. S. H. Kress & Co. five-and-dime, Harris & Frank and Silverwoods were among the junior department stores at the mall's launch. In total the mall sat on 45 acres (18 ha).[5][7][8] Alongside the mall existed Disco Fair, which later rebranded as Two Guys and FedMart in the 1970's and Target in 1983.
A 2-level, 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) May Company California was the final original anchor to open on November 2, 1970[9] and was rebranded Robinsons-May in 1993. The 2-story emporium was designed by Pasadena architects Ladd and Kelsey.
In 1999, the anchors Robinsons-May and Sears moved from Esplanade to the Buenaventura Mall in Ventura.[10]
