| The Rhodes Brothers Department Store anchored the other end of the block from J.C. Penney in the Villa Plaza Shopping Center in 1957. They, along with Weisfield's and Woolworth's, established new stores in the suburban Lakewood shopping center. Although the giant department stores maintained their main stores in downtown Tacoma, the move to shopping centers was possibly the first stop in the eventual relocation of major retail to suburban areas. Rhodes was the first store to open in the $7,000,000 Villa Plaza Shopping Center on March 15, 1957. It was also the largest store in square footage.
