Two more anchor stores joined the mall in 1990.
First was L. S. Ayres, which built a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m²) prototype store onto the mall's south side and opened for business in August 1990.
L. S. Ayres chose to build the store in order to attract customers from cities northeast of Indianapolis, such as Anderson and Muncie.
Unlike its other stores at the time, the Castleton Square store did not sell furniture due to a proliferation of furniture stores around the mall.
Two months later, an 108,000-square-foot (10,000 m²) Montgomery Ward department store opened off the J. C. Penney wing.
The store was Montgomery Ward's first purpose-built store in an Indianapolis mall, as their other three shopping mall stores (Lafayette Square, Washington Square, and Greenwood Park Mall) were all purchased from William H. Block Co. in 1988.
Also unlike those stores, the Castleton Square location featured appliance and electronic repair centers.

Yet another change in anchor stores ensued in early 1997 when Kohl's moved out of the mall to a larger store in the Geist neighborhood.
Simon Property Group, which merged with DeBartolo Corporation in 1996, announced in July 1997 that the Kohl's store would be demolished in favor of a new wing featuring a food court and a Galyan's sporting goods store, along with renovations to mall entrances, skylights, and landscaping, plus the addition of kiosk shops and new larger restroom facilities.
Three months later, Montgomery Ward announced that it would close its location at Castleton Square, along with the ones at Lafayette Square and Washington Square.
Simon attempted to purchase the store back from Montgomery Ward in 1998 with the intention of leasing it to Lord & Taylor, but the company was outbid by Von Maur, which had been seeking locations in the Indianapolis market for several years prior.
Von Maur opened for business in June 1998.
Galyan's also opened for business in mid-1998, thus becoming the company's first store to be located in a shopping mall.
The store was nearly double the size of the existing Galyan's locations in Indianapolis at the time.
By year's end, the accompanying food court had opened as well.
It featured 15 restaurants and décor themed around gardening, along with a fountain and a children's play area.
