La Cumbre Plaza opened in 1967 with anchors Sears and J.W. Robinson's.
Robinson's changed nameplates twice in its history, first becoming Robinsons-May in 1993, then Macy's in 2006 due to the merger of Federated and May Department Stores.
In the mid-2000s Macerich embarked on a remodel that added upscale retailers including Williams Sonoma, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton and Ruth's Chris Steak House. The remodel was at the height of the Great Recession, causing several of these new tenants to close only a few years later. Others have thrived since the remodel including Pottery Barn.
On November 8, 2018, it was announced that Sears will be closing this location in early 2019 a part of a plan to close 40 stores. The store closed in February 2019. With the property owners planning for redevelopment, MacyâÂÂs will close by 2028.
