Shopping mall in Wichita, Kansas

Wichita Mall was a shopping mall in Wichita, Kansas. Today, the mall consists of Big Lots, office space, and Wichita State University satellite centers.

History

The malls original anchors were Montgomery Ward, Skagg's, and J.M. McDonald. It also had a movie theater.

The mall was constructed in February 1969. The Montgomery Ward store opened in the 1969 holiday season. The mall itself opened on July 30, 1970, as the Wichita Mall Shopping Center.

Montgomery Ward closed alongside the Towne West Square location on March 5, 2001, due to bankruptcy.

On August 8, 2002, the mall has been sold.

In 2003, the mall has been renovated drastically, including the former Montgomery Ward location, to include office space and a new Big Lots.
