	The mall started its decline in ~~1991,~~ when the ~~Shears Department~~ store ~~closed down. With only one anchor~~, the mall was desperate for a new one, before other stores started closing down. The 1993 Earthquake struck Glenview and a fire started in the malls foodcourt. The mall was a huge target in looting and people broke down the main entrance doors and a woman drove her 1992 toyauto into one of the stores. As many people were running around, looting, or trying to find help a pickup truck with 4 people with guns pulled into the malls parking garage and they started shooting, looting the stores and killing two unfortunate victims. 4 restaurants and 2 stores burned down before fire rescue could make it to the site.		The mall started its decline in the late 1980s when the Downtown Greenfield Mall had re-opened after renovations with a second department store, Shears.

	~~After~~ the ~~earthquake many of~~ the ~~destruction got fixed, but 3 stores closed down permanently~~.		In 1985 the Delfino Plaza mall opened in the nearby Del Rey.

	~~Fortunately~~ the ~~mall struck a deal with~~ the ~~16Theatre group and~~ the ~~former Shears Department~~ store ~~was partly rebuilt into~~ the ~~Glenview 16 Theatre in 2003~~.		Unfortunately the Shears department store in the Glenview Galleria had closed down due to it moving to downtown, this meant that the mall only had one department store left and it became less busy as people preffered the Downtown Mall and Delfino Plaza malls nearby.

	~~In 2006 The nearby Downtown Greenfield mall had~~ a huge ~~expansion~~, ~~with a brand new Jaycee's Department store and an expanded food court~~. ~~Customers chose to go to~~ the ~~Downtown mall~~, ~~instead~~ of the ~~Galleria~~.		When the 1994 Earthquake struck Glenview a huge fire started in the foodcourt which could not be put out before 4 of the restaurants burned down. Looting was a huge issue in the hours that followed the earthquake, as no police could reach the mall. An old women crashed her 1990 Corvega Blitz into the main entrance doors, letting everyone inside. Two people were shot during the looting and one died of smoke inhalation as they were hiding near the burning food court.

	~~In 2014 after loss~~ of ~~revenue~~, the ~~remaining department store CJnickels closed down permanently,~~ and ~~moved to~~ the ~~Downtown Greenfield Mall after the huge boom of popularity of Downtown~~. ~~With only one anchor~~ left~~, the mall now started losing customers rapidly, other stores~~ in the ~~mall started closing down permanently or moving to other shopping centers in the area~~.		After 9 hours of chaos police and other emergency services finally arrived, putting out the food court fire and helping the wounded. The Foodcourt was rebuilt but a bitter taste was left in the population of Glenview.

	~~Even~~ with the ~~recent population boom of~~ Glenview, The ~~galleria is still~~ in ~~huge decline~~ and many stores ~~have closed~~ down ~~since 2014~~.		Fortunately the mall struck a deal with the 5Theatre group and the former Shears Department store was partly rebuilt into the Glenview 5 Theatre in 2003.

			In 2019 The Downtown Mall doubled in size after being bought by the Westlake Corporation. The CJNickels in the Galleria closed down and moved to the new expansion, leaving the Galleria with no large anchor. After this many stores started closing down and the mall became a center of crime.

			In 2024 A new plan was made to rebuild the mall into a large luxury apartment development and many of the stores still there would be forced to close at the end of the year.

	====== The plan ======		====== The plan ======
	The mall owners, Glenview Galleria Holding Coorporation have come together with the Salvatore Realty Group to make a plan ~~for~~ the ~~galleria to be rebuilt~~ into a ~~6 story luxury apartment building with 50+ Luxury apartment units, 20 affordable~~ housing ~~units, 10 retail units, a pool, an outdoor garden and a public parking garage on the main mall~~. The ~~mall itselves will be refit into a large garden, with stores on both the large avenues, The plan is that many of the people who will live within the Galleria will cycle or take the subway~~ to work~~, instead of using~~ the ~~car.

The mall owners, Glenview Galleria Holding Coorporation have come together with the Salvatore Realty Group to make a plan to rebuild the Glenview Galleria into a large housing development. The recent housing crisis and change in zoning codes eventually caused these two companies to work together to make the plan.

	The ~~Theatre and~~ parking garage will be ~~sold to the 16theatre group~~ and the ~~pedestrian bridges between the mall~~ and the ~~building will be taken down~~.		Most of the structure of the mall will be taken down as two large 15 story towers will be put in place, these will house many luxury apartments and a few affordable housing units as forced by the states zoning code. The parking garage and theatre will be replaced by a 6 story apartment building and will house a new location for the theatre and a parking garage for the subway station.

	The plan was released in April, and since then Glenview residents have come together and protested at the Santa Cabeza Library about the ~~brand new apartment complexes, replacing~~ the ~~former~~ culture of Glenview. ~~As 7 large partment buildings, and many smaller ones have already been built~~ the residents of Glenview are protesting against the mall redevelopment plan with the ~~praise~~: Glenview<3Galleria.
