Indian Mound Mall opened in 1986 as the first indoor shopping mall in Licking County. Its original anchor stores were Elder-Beerman, J. C. Penney, and Lazarus, as well as a Hill's acting as a secondary anchor. It also had a small theater. A fountain that had originally been in the center of the mall was removed in 1997. In 1999 Hill's was replaced by Ames, which in turn closed in 2002. Steve & Barry's moved into the empty store in 2004. Also in 1999 the mall added Sears, replacing a freestanding store nearby, and expanded Elder-Beerman and the Theater, which currently has 11 screens. In 2004, Lazarus closed, and Goody's moved in during the following year. Goody's closed at the end of May 2008, leaving Indian Mound Mall with an empty anchor store for the first time since 2004. The mall also contains a food court, sponsored by Windstream Communications, with several local companies but few large chain fast food restaurants. Several large stores, such as Gap, Goody's and Hallmark have closed recently, leaving large vacant stores.^[2]
