  • Dead mall in Midwest? I discover another mall in upper Iowa in Waterloo, Iowa. It was built in 1970 as one of the first malls in Iowa. The mall's sole anchor store is At Home. It has four vacant anchors formerly occupied by Sears, Dillard's, Gordmans, and Younkers. It is owned by Namdar Realty Group. It is located in the heart of a retail hub that includes a 12 screen theater, Best Buy, Super Target (opened 2000), Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond and many other national tenants. The mall is located near the interchange of Interstate 380 and U.S. Highway 20.
    On January 8, 2015, it was announced that JCPenney would close, as part of a plan to close 39 locations nationwide. At Home replaced the store in 2016. On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would close, as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed in April 2018. On April 18, 2018, Younkers parent company, the Bon-Ton, announced they would be completely liquidating and closing all stores including the one at Crossroads. The store closed on August 29, 2018. On May 11, 2020, Gordmans announced that it would be closing as the parent company is also going out of business. Just eight days later, Dillard's announced that this location would close. This left At Home as the only traditional anchor store. On August 2, 2023, it was announced that At Home would be closing by November 2023, which will leave the mall with no anchors.

    I bought stuff at that mall when I went to Hawkeye community college to become a truck driver years ago

    I live in Waterloo, I was in this mall today July 14th, 2024. Opened at noon for mall walkers. The only tenants left: US Cellular, Bath and Body Works, pizza place (closed on Sundays) and a Asian restaurant restaurant that also appears to be closed on Sundays. The AC wasn't working working so Bath/Body was closed due to high Temps. I'm sure when the lease expires I doubt they will renew. I don't know maybe the military recruiters are still there. The restaurant at 7:20 was a Diamond Dave's. I do not recall when they closed. But it was long ago.

      Thank you for watching! Subscribe if you haven’t yet. Yes I could tell the mall was dead in Waterloo. Wish they get more stores in the mall.

    At the begining next to the old Sears car repair was a Bishops Buffet. Went there with the grandparents and family back in the 70's and 80's. Think it closed in the late 80's. Was great food.
    My mom lives in Cedar Falls and I get back there about every other month. I used to shop at CrossRoads for Xmas gifts and things until the Sears closed. It's probably been 7/8 years since I was in the mall. Brings back a lot of memories. We lived about 50 miles west of Waterloo when I grew up and a trip to "the city" was a big deal. The place would be packed on weekends and durning the summer. GIRLS! Going to movie dates at the CrossRoads theaters, Diamond Daves food and beer. Scheels sporting goods. Daltons Books. Musicland. Team electronics. Dad bought tires for his Oldsmobile at Sears once because they had a great deal on Uniroyal tires. Heard my first CD 40 years ago at Team electornics (1984 Van Halen).
    In a way it's just Karma coming around. Downtown Waterloo was virbrant and thriving until CrossRoads and College Square mall in Cedar Falls opened up. By 1980 downtown Waterloo and Cedar Falls were ghost towns. Now the city centers are making a small comeback, and of course on line retail is turning everything on it's head.
    Still sad to see a place where lots of memories were made end up like this.

    I used to live in Cedar Falls and Waterloo Iowa back in the 90s.
    It was a very busy mall. Both this one and College Sware mall in Cadar Falls. Now I'm saddened to see this.

      I wasn’t happy how the mall looks today. It needs more stores!

      CF and Waterloo have been changing a lot. If you haven't been back there in a while you would be suprised.

    The end of the building at around 0:32 I think was a Bishop’s Buffet when the mall opened. Went there a lot with my Grandma and cousin in the 70s.

    Came across your video and subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed your video! I loved Crossroads Mall in OKC back in the late 70's and 80's.

    at 14:06 this space used to be a wonderful arcade + black light arcade course. they had an awesome collection of old stuff that I loved, but can't find any pictures from when the arcade was open. Tragic loss to history.
