El Con Center is an open-air shopping mall in the city of Tucson, Arizona, United States anchored by Cinemark Theatres, Target, The Home Depot, Walmart, Ross (30,220 ft.2[2]), Burlington (65,680 ft.2[3]), and Marshalls.

[16][17] Other tenants included House Of Fabrics, The College Shop, Mills-Touché, Lerner Shops, Kinney Shoes, El Con Cocktail Lounge, First National Bank Of Arizona, Daniel’s Credit Jewelers, Sandy’s Fashions, & Cele Peterson’s[15] In 1967, the former El Conquistador Hotel space was demolished, and a new Levy’s store (opening on September 16, 1969), a J. C. Penney (1971[18]), Stores #1–11, #101–106, & #110–124A & some mall space were built on the site, & east of it.

[19][20] Steinfeld’s moved from its historic 35 North Stone Avenue downtown location into Levy’s former store at the shopping center’s original portion’s NW corner.

After JCPenney closed, The Home Depot, Target, Burlington, Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less, and Walmart became the remaining anchor stores left.

Until the 2014 sale to Stan Kroenke, El Con Mall was still owned by the heirs of its original developers, Joseph Kivel and the Papanikolas brothers.

Following the elder Kivel's demise in 1995, and the deaths of the Papanikolas brothers, their descendants began renovations on the mall.

[9] In mid-1998 the entire original wing (save Montgomery Ward), the mall space between Wards & the original wing, and the AMC El Con 6 Theatres (the latter of which had closed on September 1, 1997[30]) were demolished, forcing Osco Drug to move from Store #54 to Store #123 and lose its status as an anchor.

The addition of these stores was considered controversial by local residents, many of whom did not want such big box retailers in the area.

[44] In November 2009, Burlington Coat Factory announced it would open a new store at El Con Mall in the former Dillard’s space.
