History

Opening as Tyler Mall, the mall opened on October 12, 1970,[2] as a one-story, two-anchor (J. C. Penney and The Broadway) retail destination for the steadily-growing Inland Empire.

In 1973, May Company California opened as an anchor store.

Tyler Mall underwent its first renovation in 1991 with a second story, Nordstrom as its third anchor tenant and reopening as the Galleria at Tyler.

2006 and 2007 saw the mall's second expansion with an increased focus on restaurant out-parcels. The Cheesecake Factory and P. F. Chang's China Bistro opened in 2006 with Yard House following in 2007. AMC Theatres and Robbins Brothers opened that year as well.

On December 6, 2015, three men with sledgehammers and axes entered Ben Bridge Jeweler near J. C. Penney. They smashed glass display cases and stole thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry. This happened just four days after the 2015 San Bernardino attack. Distant shoppers mistook the sound of smashing glass for gunshots. The first 9-1-1 calls came in at around 6:30 p.m; over 100 police officers and SWAT team members arrived due to initial belief it was an active shooting. Shoppers were allowed to exit an hour later after officers searched the mall. All suspects have been caught. [citation needed]

In 2020, the Nordstrom anchor store closed, as a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In August 2022, Furniture City opened in the former Nordstrom anchor store. On March 21, 2025, it was announced that the Forever 21 store would close, when the chain folded. In December 2025, Furniture City was announced to be closing in 2026 with a closing sale that lasted for 5 months before its closure on May 31 of that year.[4]
