The center originally opened in the mid-1950s, with [[Kroger]], [[Gray Drug|Grey Drug]], [[Montgomery Ward]], and Boardman Plaza Theater. It was fame shopping mall developer [[Edward J. DeBartolo Jr.|Edward J. DeBartolo]]'s first shopping center. Through the 1980s, the shopping center picked up a [[Hills (store)|Hills Department Store]], and [[Childrens Palace|Children's Palace]]. Around the same time, lighting struck the Stambaugh's Hardware store (Current [[Save-A-Lot]]) and set the plaza ablaze. About 6 store spaces had fire and smoke damage. Following the fire, the plaza had a major renovation. |

By the 1990s, the plaza had retailers like [[Burlington (department store)|Burlington Coat Factory]], [[Linens 'n Things|Linens-N-Things]], [[Stein Mart]], [[Deb Shops|DEB Shops]], and [[5-7-9]]. And in 1996, when DeBartolo merged with [[Simon Property Group]], the ownership turned over to Simon.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bryant |first=Adam |date=1996-03-27 |title=Simon Property To Acquire DeBartolo for $1.5 Billion |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/27/business/simon-property-to-acquire-debartolo-for-1.5-billion.html |access-date=2023-05-22 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Montgomery Ward closed sometime in 2000,<ref>{{Cite web |last=McNeil Hamilton |first=Martha |date=29 December 2000 |title=Montgomery Ward To Close All Stores |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2000/12/29/montgomery-ward-to-close-all-stores/c9f7f0f7-08d8-46b2-a63a-e20c92670b43/ |access-date=2023 May 24 |website=The Washington Post}}</ref> to be replaced by Burlington, relocating from across the street.

Simon sold the property a year later. |

As a new decade was rushed in, the plaza began to have a shift, from high quality goods, to a more discount oriented customer base, with the opening of [[Ollie's Bargain Outlet]], in the former Linens-N-Things.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ollie's Discount Bargain Outlet opens in Boardman Plaza |url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/23650210/ollies-opens-in-boardman-plaza |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=www.wfmj.com |language=en}}</ref> The center lost Hobby Lobby, in the same year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Boardman Hobby Lobby relocating |url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/25447162/boardman-hobby-lobby-relocating |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=www.wfmj.com |language=en}}</ref> [[Dollar Tree]] put out a press release announcing the [[Deals|Deal$]] store would be re-branded as a Dollar Tree, sometime in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-10-13 |title=Dollar Tree Announces Plans to Re-Brand Deals Stores in 2016 |url=https://corporate.dollartree.com/news-media/press-releases/detail/115/dollar-tree-announces-plans-to-re-brand-deals-stores-in-2016 |access-date=2023-05-23 |website=Dollar Tree, Inc. |language=en}}</ref>In September 2018, the center was sold again, to a firm out of Maryland.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Boardman Plaza Sold for $18.8M to Maryland Firm {{!}} America's Realty |url=https://www.americasrealtyllc.com/boardman-plaza-sold-for-18-8m-to-maryland-firm/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=www.americasrealtyllc.com}}</ref> In Spring of 2019, [[Ace Hardware]] opened a store, situated next to the former Burlington.<ref>{{Cite web |last=February 18 |last2=at 12:00a.m |first2=2019 |title=Ace Hardware to open in Boardman Plaza |url=http://vindyarchives.com/news/2019/feb/18/ace-hardware-to-open-in-boardman-plaza/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=vindyarchives.com}}</ref> In August 2019, [[Avenue (Clothing)|Avenue]] closed their location due to bankruptcy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Avenue plus-sized stores closing including Boardman, Howland |url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/40919944/avenue-plus-sized-stores-closing-including-boardman-howland |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=www.wfmj.com |language=en}}</ref>Three years later, [[Roses (store)|Roses Discount]] opened in the long abandoned Burlington space.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Roses Discount Store set to open in Boardman |url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/47091210/roses-discount-store-set-to-open-in-boardman |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=www.wfmj.com |language=en}}</ref> |
