Towne East Square

Towne East Square is an enclosed, two-story shopping mall located in the eastern section[1] of Wichita, Kansas, United States.

[5] The area around the mall was changed heavily in recent years as several businesses and hotels were demolished for the expansion and addition of a flyover on Highways 54/400 (locally signed Kellogg).

Construction began in 1973,[7] and officially opened on August 14, 1975,[8] and was the first large, modern, multi-level enclosed mall in Wichita.

McDonald liquidated in 1983 as part of parent company Wickles filing for bankruptcy, and was replaced by Service Merchandise around 1985.

[13] In late 2008, Towne East Square received a renovation to give it more of an upscale look, including escalator movements.

[14] During the summer of 2009, Mattress Hub expanded their store at the mall into the former Steve and Barry's space,[15] and moved in mid-2010 for Wright Career College that opened in 2011.

Round One Entertainment later took up the space on July 18, 2020, causing four other businesses at the mall to move elsewhere in order to accommodate the tenant expansion.

This overhaul would include the entrances getting wood and glass details and new signage, outdoor seating areas would be added, and the parking lots and entryways would get new landscaping.
