Southpark Mall-Spencer, Iowa
The Southpark Mall opened in 1980 and it's 230,107 Square Feet. The original anchors were Woolco and JCPenney with current anchors being JCPenney, Dunham's Sports and Hobby Lobby which have no mall access. Woolco closed in 1983 and became Walmart. Walmart then relocated to a supercenter in the 90's and became Jack's which was bought by Shopko in 1997. Shopko closed in 2001 and became Dunham's Sports and another store. Hobby Lobby ended up taking over both spaces in 2014 and Dunham's took over a portion of the mall. The mall was built even with the tiny population of Spencer due to the Iowa Great Lakes which has many rich people having summer houses. Since there ain't many options, the mall does ok business. This mall has a food court and fountain which are rare for rural area malls. I've been coming to this mall at least one every year for the past 9 years since going to the Iowa Great Lakes.
