The early 1980s would see the expansion of two additional anchor stores. [[JCPenney 2058|JCPenney]] built a store on the east end of the mall (relocating from [[East 17th Street (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|East 17th Street]] in [[Downtown Cheyenne (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Downtown Cheyenne]]), and the new store opened in July 1982.

Also built in the early 1980s, the building on the corner of today's [[Frontier Mall Drive (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Frontier Mall Dr]] and [[Dell Range Boulevard (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Dell Range Blvd]] currently is occupied by Verizon and Men's Warehouse. Prior to the current two tenants, a restaurant CB&Potts occupied the building, and prior to CB&Potts, the building was occupied by another restaurant called Sea Galley.
The early to mid-1990s would see the addition of two more buildings. One building would be built near the corner of [[Powderhouse Road (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Powderhouse Rd]] and [[Dell Range Boulevard (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Dell Range Blvd]], and it's currently occupied by a chain dine-in restaurant called Chilli's. The other building was built between Powderhouse Rd and the northwest parking lot entry on [[Prairie Avenue (Cheyenne, Wyoming)|Prairie Avenue]]; called Frontier Medical Plaza, various medical services are available inside the building. (Frontier Medical Plaza is on its own property separate from Frontier Mall.)
