Towne East Square is an enclosed, two-story shopping mall located in the eastern section of Wichita, Kansas United States. It has 122 stores and restaurants in of gross leasable area. Dillard's, JCPenney, and Von Maur are the mall's anchor stores. The mall opened in 1975 and was the first large, modern, multi-level enclosed mall in Wichita. The area around the mall was changed heavily in recent years as several businesses and hotels were demolished for the expansion and addition of a flyover on Highways 54/400. Simon has purchased much of the vacated land for redevelopment. In Summer 2019, a Round 1 Entertainment complex is expected to be on the bottom floor of most of the former stores of the JCPenney wing. It was later confirmed that the Round 1 Entertainment Complex was slated to open in 2020. On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.
