Renovations

• In April 1993, the store would be expanded and remodeled from a pre-1972 full-size model Kmart. A grand reopening ceremony for the renovated store was held on September 9.
• In 1997, the store would be converted to one of the first 24 Big Kmarts in Texas, with a grand reopening ceremony on November 14.

Incidents

• On September 12, 1993, during the store's first grand reopening ceremony, four youths assaulted a Barney the dinosaur impersonator after they were asked to leave for causing a disturbance in the store. The four youths were fined $200 and were issued other penalties for their crime. Kmart would also face criticism for trying to pass off what they say was a "purple-and-green dinosaur", and not the actual Barney character.
