The Crayola Experience at the Shops at Willow Bend is temporarily closed, according to a sign on the door.
The details
The sign on the door states that Centennial, the development company that owns the mall, has changed the locks on the site Feb. 7 due to "delinquent rent.”
The Crayola Experience's phone number is disconnected, and the website states the facility is temporarily closed.
One more thing
The mall’s ongoing redevelopment plan is aiming to transform the mall into a mixed-use development, featuring retail, office, residential and parks. Willow Bend’s initial redevelopment plan with Centennial was reworked due to the closure of Macy’s within the mall.
Since adjusting the redevelopment plan in February 2025, Dillard’s and Neiman Marcus have announced upcoming closures.
A representative with The Shops at Willow Bend said in a statement there are no updates on the mall’s redevelopment.
