The years I am talking about was probably the late 1970's. Being from South End of West Detroit I did not get to Pontiac Mall much as a kid. I also recall there being other stores in the annex as well.I don't remember that annex location being the rainbow store. The rainbow store was in the basement. The annex housed sporting goods as I remember it. What you said about later years is kind of backwards. The mall annex was turned into a Service Merchandise. When that closed, I think, was when JC Penney went into that spot.
The old picture makes me want to just climb through it.
Here's the same view from 2007.

Maybe it's the low, dark clouds, but what a wholly depressing image.
