Winrock Town Center

Winrock Center opened on March 1, 1961, on a 71-acre (29 ha) lot near the planned Coronado Freeway. The original tenants included Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, S.S. Kresge, and Safeway, with a Fedway store opening shortly afterward. Fox Winrock Theater, a freestanding movie theater off of Indian School Road, and an attached motor hotel opened in 1963. In March 1965, the rival Coronado Center was dedicated a short distance away. Dillard's established their first store there in late 1971, when they rebranded the existing Fedway location. Bealls was added in 1985. This space later became Oshman's and, later, Sports Authority. Also, the Fox Winrock Theater was demolished to make way for a new freestanding movie theater on the site, known as the Winrock 6, which opened on October 3, 1986. Winrock 6, then branded as a United Artists theater under the ownership of Regal Entertainment Group, closed its doors in 2013 and was demolished that same year.
