Towne East Square
Towne East Square is an enclosed, two-story shopping mall located in the eastern section[1] of Wichita, Kansas United States. It has 122 stores and restaurants in 1,134,931 square feet (105,438.5 m2) of gross leasable area.[2] Dillard's, JCPenney,& Von Maur (opened in 2002 on the site of original anchor Henry's, which closed in 1992 and demolished in 2000) are the mall's anchor stores. The mall opened in 1975[3] and was the first large, modern, multi-level enclosed mall in Wichita. The area around the mall was changed heavily in recent years as several businesses and hotels were demolished for the expansion and addition of a flyover on Highways 54/400 (Locally signed Kellogg). Simon has purchased much of the vacated land for redevelopment. [4] In Summer 2019, a Round 1 Entertainment complex is expected to be on the bottom floor of most of the former stores of the JCPenney wing.[5] It was later confirmed that the Round 1 Entertainment Complex was slated to open in 2020.[6] On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.[7]
