RIP RadioShack - "Quincy Place Mall" Ottumwa, IA
Developed by Developers Diversified, Quincy Place Mall opened in August 1990, as a 270,000 ft2 mall anchored by JCPenney, Herberger's, and Walmart.
A decades long weak economy and the departures of Walmart, JCP, and Herberger's have left the former industrial hub without a thriving retail destination. The Target behind the mall closed in 2015.
Developers Diversified really copied what Dial Properties of Omaha was doing when building this mall. The corrugated ceilings, circular lights, dated colors, and anchor combination match the Walmart, JCP, and Herberger's anchored malls that DP was building elsewhere in the Midwest. The mall was build to replace an ailing downtown pedestrian mall that was foundering even before the loss of Younkers.
