History
Mounds Mall was developed by Melvin Simon & Associates (now Simon Property Group), opening in January 1965 as that company's first fully enclosed mall property, and the second mall in Indiana (Evansville's fully enclosed Washington Square began business in October 1963).[1] One of its original anchor stores was Montgomery Ward, which became Sears in 1983.[2] Other early tenants included a Kroger supermarket, a Woolworth dime store (which later became part of Sears) and H. P. Wasson and Company, which became Meis, then Elder-Beerman, and finally Carson's in 2011.[3] In 2012, the Sears closed as a result of low sales of the 2011 holiday season.
