Kirkwood Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kirkwood Mall is an enclosed regional shopping mall in the city of Bismarck, North Dakota. Kirkwood Mall opened in 1970 and is the largest of three enclosed shopping centers in Bismarck (Gateway Mall and Northbrook Mall being the others). Unlike many 1970s-era malls which were built in suburban areas, Kirkwood Mall is located directly south of the downtown area of Bismarck.

Today, Kirkwood Mall houses several major anchor stores including Herberger's, J.C. Penney, and Target. There is also a Scheels All Sports store and an I. Keating Furniture store in the mall. A TJ Maxx sits in the parking lot of the mall. Kirkwood mall is also home to many smaller stores and a handful of restaurants.

[edit] History

Kirkwood Mall opened in 1970 and has seen several expansions and changes over the years. A new wing anchored by a Target store was added approximately ten years after the mall was opened. Also, Herberger's significantly expanded its store after closing its Gateway Mall location on the north side of Bismarck.

Kirkwood Mall used to house a Marshall Field's store (formerly Dayton's), but that store was closed in 2005. The Marshall Field's store was then demolished and the mall's Target store moved to that location and opened in the fall of 2006. Scheels All Sports is expected to expand from its current space into the former Target space.

Kirkwood Mall also used to have a Montgomery Ward store, but that store has been closed and the space is now an I. Keating Furniture store.
