Sikes Senter is a 670,000 square foot shopping mall in Wichita Falls, Texas. It is the only Texas mall within 100 miles of Wichita Falls.[1] It is owned and managed by Brookfield Properties Retail Group. Anchor stores include At Home, two Dillard's locations and JCPenney.
History
Construction on Sikes Senter began in 1973, with Dillard's and JCPenney as the first anchor stores.[2] The mall opened in 1974, with Perkins department store joining as a third anchor in 1975.[3] The Perkins store became a second Dillard's, while Bealls was later added. Sears joined as an anchor in 1991, with additions in the 2000s including Books-A-Million and Old Navy.
Bealls closed in 2011,[4] as did New York & Company. Also, the Old Navy in the mall reduced its floor space by 25 percent.[5] Despite the loss of these stores, the mall maintained occupancy higher than the national average.[6] The former Bealls became The Shoe Department Encore in 2012. Sears closed in 2015 and became At Home a year later.[7]
