The Alton Square Mall is a 2-level, 634,181 square feet (58,917.3 m2) enclosed shopping mall located in Alton, Illinois.[1][2] It was originally developed by May Centers, Inc. - the mall development arm of May Department Stores - and opened in 1978. Its current anchors are Ross Dress for Less and JCPenney.[3] Sears was a third anchor, but closed in 2012. The Sears site was later made into an Illinois Wholesale Furniture store, which is now closed.[3] Macy's - which had opened as Famous-Barr - was a fourth anchor until it closed in 2017.[1]

In 2009, a 10-screen Premiere Cinemas theater was announced for the mall, but did not open.[4]

In 2015, a Ross Dress For Less store was added to the mall, and a Hibbett Sports was also added. In March 2015, Family Christian Stores closed, and Hull Property Group, the owner of the mall, announced a redevelopment of the mall. The old Sears site would be made into a movie theater, and the Famous-Barr/Macy's building would be demolished (demolition began on November 27. 2017, and is now complete). As part of the redevelopment, the smaller stores from the second level would be moved to the first level so they could have room for 5 anchor stores. In May 2017, the mall announced that Hallmark and Things Remembered would both be closing their locations inside the mall. On November 22, Vitamin World announced they would close all their St. Louis stores, including the Alton Square Mall location.
