Jantzen Beach Mall opened September 281972 [ [http://www.jantzenbeachsupercenter.com/info/history.cfm Jantzen Beach SuperCenter History] ] on the site of the former Jantzen Beach Amusement Park which existed from 1928 to 1970.

In 1995 MBK Northwest acquired Jantzen Beach Center for about $18 million. About two-thirds of the mall was demolished in 1995 and 1996 including the former Lamonts, Payless, a cinema, and around 150 small stores to make room for big box development. [Baker, Dean. "Jantzen Beach Reborn - Again." Oregon Business. 1 February 1997, 15.] The east wing of the mall was left intact with three anchor stores and a newly created food court. [Hill, Jim. "A Jazzed-Up Jantzen." Oregonian [Portland, Ore.] 17 August1996, B7.] In 1997 MBK Northwest sold Jantzen Beach SuperCenter for $76 million to Compass Retail Inc. [Baker, Dean.
