In a 2008 study, it was named one of the top six malls in the metropolitan area in terms of visitors.
The mall was renovated in 2011 with updated entrances, new carpeting and tile, energy-efficient lighting, and updated restrooms. A Metro Transit hub opened near the mall in 2004 and features 425 park and ride stalls. The mall is open two hours earlier than the stores open to allow people to get exercise by walking in a temperature controlled environment.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Maplewood Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties. Sears closed this location in July 2018. Hmongtown Marketplace plans to open a second location in the former Sears space in 2025.
The state of Minnesota has plans for a new bus rapid transit (BRT) line named the "Rush Line" navigating from Downtown Saint Paul and past the Maplewood Mall to White Bear Lake.
