History of The Fashion Mall
The Fashion Mall first opened in the early 1970s. It was a small luxury mall at that time. Next to it was another shopping center called The Bazaar. The Bazaar had many small, family-owned shops.
Over the years, The Fashion Mall grew bigger. It had many updates and expansions. Eventually, The Bazaar building was taken down to make room for the growing mall. Many other shops and restaurants have been built around the mall since then. The area around The Fashion Mall and Clearwater Crossing is now a long stretch of shops. It connects to the Castleton Square Mall area, which is about 3 miles away.
Today, The Fashion Mall is a major shopping spot for the region. It is two stories tall and covers a large area. The two main buildings are still connected by "The Crossing" archway. This archway used to be the food court. In 2011-2012, the food court moved to a new spot.
Past Stores and Changes
The Fashion Mall has seen many stores come and go. For example, a store called Jacobson's used to be an anchor here. It was the only Jacobson's in Indiana. Later, Saks Fifth Avenue took its place, and it is also the only Saks Fifth Avenue in the state. Another store, Parisian, became Nordstrom in 2008. Nordstrom is now the only one of its kind in Indiana.
