Dakota Square Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dakota Square Mall is an enclosed shopping center in the city of Minot, North Dakota. The largest mall within 170 km, it includes four major anchor stores, over 70 smaller stores, a food court, and a nine-screen Carmike Cinema with stadium seating. It also includes local recruiting offices for the United States military.

One unusual feature of the mall is a Sleep Inn & Suites, which is directly attached to the mall itself. The hotel also features Splashdown Dakota Super Slides, a 24,000 square foot water park complex. Dakota Square is one of only a few shopping malls in the United States to feature an attached hotel.

Dakota Square also includes several businesses not physically attached to the mall complex itself. These stores include a fast food restaurant, a 'sit-down' Mexican-style restaurant, a grocery store, an American buffet, and an electronics retail store.

The mall, formerly owned by Jones Lang LaSalle of Chicago, Illinois, is now owned by Prime Retail.

Barnes and Noble is located in the mall and opened on March 12th, 2008.
