Conestoga Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Grand Island, Nebraska. It was opened in 1974 and is owned by Namdar Realty Group.
History[]
Ericson Development of Edina, Minnesota, built the mall in 1974. At the time, it included Miller & Paine and Brandeis as its anchors. Later expansions brought Sears and J.C. Penney as anchors, as well as regional department store chain J.M. McDonald.
Dillard's purchased Miller & Paine in 1988, and Younkers purchased Brandeis in 1987. Best Buy serves as a junior anchor, located in part of the former J.M. McDonald space.
In 2003, J. Herzog & Sons bought the mall from the Richard E. Jacobs group, which had put it up for sale in 1999. In 2017, New York-Based Namdar Realty Group purchased the mall.
The Younkers store closed in August 2018 with the liquidation of its owner, Bon-Ton Stores. The mall's Sears location closed in early 2019 as part of the retailer's plan to close 40 stores.
