History
NorthPark Mall opened on July 11, 1973. The original anchors were JCPenney, Younkers, and Montgomery Ward, which closed when the chain went out of business in 2001 and was replaced by Dillard's two years later. A multimillion-dollar expansion in 1981 brought Sears and Petersen Harned Von Maur to the mall. Today, the mall houses up to 160 shops and five anchor stores. NorthPark has been remodeled and renovated several times through the years.
Mall offers educational activities and games for children, live piano music weekend in April and other regular events.
On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Younkers would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.
On May 31, 2018, Sears announced that its store would also be closing as part of a plan to close 78 stores nationwide. The store closed on September 2, 2018.
