Towne West Square is an enclosed shopping mall located in Wichita, Kansas, United States. Opened on Friday, March 1981,[1] it comprises more than 80 stores in 951,447 square feet (88,392.3 m2) of gross leasable area.[2] The mall's three anchor stores are Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's Clearance Center and JCPenney.

The original anchor stores in the mall were: Dillard's, Henry's, JCPenney, Montgomery Ward and Service Merchandise (formerly Wilson's Catalog Showroom). Henry's closed in 1988. The structure was later sealed off from the rest of the mall and currently houses 54 West Music Hall. Sears opened in 1993 (12 years after the rest of the mall) moving a store from the open air Twin Lakes Shopping Center. Sears closed in December 2014. Their anchor store structure was taken over by Convergys and converted to office space, which was no longer accessible from the interior of the mall. In 2017, Dillard's closed their women's store anchor on the mall's north side and converted their men's store (located in the former Montgomery Ward) into a Dillard's Clearance Center. Sears Hometown, operated in the old Henry's, but closed in 2019. Later, Convergys was renamed Concentrix.

On July 31, 2020, JCPenney put 21 stores for sale as part of their bankruptcy, this location included.[3]
