As of 2025, the mall now consists of office space and Wichita State University satellite centers.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The malls original anchors were Montgomery Ward, Skagg's, and J.M. McDonald.[2][3] It also had a movie theater.
The mall was constructed in February 1969.[4] The Montgomery Ward store opened in the 1969 holiday season.[5] The mall itself opened on July 30, 1970, as the Wichita Mall Shopping Center.[clarification needed]
Montgomery Ward closed, alongside Wichita's Towne West Square location, on March 5, 2001, due to bankruptcy.[6][7]
On August 8, 2002, the mall was sold.[8]
In 2003, the mall was renovated drastically – including the former Montgomery Ward location – to include office space and a new Big Lots.[9][10]
