History
The mall opened in 1988 under the development of Melvin Simon & Associates. Vanna White made a guest appearance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.[2] Original tenants included J.C. Penney, Dillard's, Sears, Montgomery Ward, and The Jones Store. It also included a movie theater called the West Ridge 6, which had a Baskin-Robbins inside it.[3]
Montgomery Ward closed at the mall 2001.[4] Another original tenant, Old Country Buffet, closed in 2003,[5] followed by the movie theater in 2005.[3] The Montgomery Ward building was briefly used for an exhibit by the Kansas International Museum, and became Burlington Coat Factory in 2007.[4] Macy's acquired The Jones Store's parent company in 2006, thus returning Macy's to Topeka after the chain's downtown store closed in 1986.[6] The Macy's closed in 2012.[7] The former Macy's became Furniture Mall of Kansas in late 2013.[8]
