The Great Mall of the Great Plains

It was the largest outlet mall in the state of Kansas,[2] and boasted over 150 stores and 10 anchors, laid out in a half-mile racetrack pattern.

[1] Amenities included indoor glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course, a food court, a Game Zone arcade, and a Dickinson Theatres movie theater with sixteen screens.

While developers announced in January 2018 that a redevelopment called Mentum would replace the old mall, this never happened.

[5][7][8] When the mall opened, it had a total of 150 stores including 11 anchor stores: Burlington Coat Factory, Dillard’s, DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse), Eddie Bauer Outlet, Foozles Bookstore, Group USA Clothing Company, Kitchen and Co., Linens 'n Things, Marshalls, Old Navy, Oshman’s Supersports USA, and a Jeepers family entertainment center which became Zonkers in 2007.

[4] In addition to the anchor stores, the mall had a 12 restaurant Marketplace food court and a 16 screen Dickinson theater.

All of the malls stores were arranged in a half-mile racetrack pattern and organized into four theme courts: Fashion, Home and Hobby, Sports and Adventure, and Techtainment.

[4] A corridor at the northwest portion of the wall was left as a dead end in anticipation of an expansion that would feature additional restaurants and entertainment.

This expansion would have brought the malls total area to over a million square feet, but it never happened.

[2] Later in 2003, Cosmic Mini Golf opened in the former Oshman's SuperSports USA store, but Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue closed in February 2004.

[11] In 2006, Hibbett Sports opened in the former Old Navy store and Jeepers was renovated into Zonkers amusement center.

The Driver License Office moved out on December 16, 2015, leaving Burlington Coat Factory as the only store remaining.

On October 16, 2018, developers announced redevelopment plans that called for a small town center that would include a 4,000- to 5,000-seat arena, an ice rink, interactive golf, and rock climbing in addition to stores, restaurants, hotels, and office space.
