A large expansion was done to the Mall at Johnson City was done during the beginning of the 1980's. The mall's upper level was added at the end of the Mall at Johnson City that housed Sears during this expansion and is nearly the size of the mall itself. The addition featured a Miller's Department Store and a JC Penney that was previously in downtown Johnson City. An elevator and escalators where put in on the lower floor to make accessing the upper floor easier.

During the renovations Britt's Department Stores and Kroger both left the mall to move to new locations. These stores were replaced by Parks-Belk and Piccadilly respectively. In the 1990's the Miller's Department Store became Hess's and later went bankrupt causing it to close. The transition to the upper level on the lower level received a new food court.

The former Hess's location temporarily became the Proffitt's Home Store, during the late 1990's Proffitt's acquired Parks-Belk and converted it into a store featuring Kid's, Men and Home and the home store eventually closed to be reopened as a Goody's Family Clothing. Glimcher Realty purchased the Mall at Johnson City for a cost of $44 million during 1996.
