Sikes Senter is a 670,000 sq ft (62,000 m2) shopping mall in Wichita Falls, Texas. It is the only Texas mall within 100 miles (160 km) of Wichita Falls.[2] It is owned and managed by Brookfield Properties Retail Group. Anchor stores include At Home, two Dillard's locations and JCPenney.
History[]
Construction on Sikes Senter began in 1973, with Dillard's and JCPenney as the first anchor stores.[3] The mall opened in 1974, with Perkins department store joining as a third anchor in 1975.[4] The Perkins store became a second Dillard's, while Bealls was later added. Sears joined as an anchor in 1991, with additions in the 2000s including Books-A-Million and Old Navy.
Bealls closed in 2011,[5] as did New York & Company. Also, the Old Navy in the mall reduced its floor space by 25 percent.[6] Despite the loss of these stores, the mall maintained occupancy higher than the national average.[7] The former Bealls became The Shoe Department Encore in 2012. Sears closed on December 20, 2015 and became At Home on April 21, 2016.[8][9]
