Hey friends,
Towne West Mall is officially closed, but big plans are already in motion. It’s being transformed into Wichita Business Park—think offices, industrial space, and a totally new look. Details below.

This weekend brings The Goonies by the river, 24-hour baseball, waterski championships, bridal shows, and more.

Plus, I dropped a new video: 15 Wichita Restaurants You Have to Try in 2025—you might find your next go-to spot. Link is down below!

Towne West Square officially closed on June 30, ending a 44-year run as one of Wichita’s go‑to shopping destinations. But it’s not the end—it’s a bold new beginning.

Now known as the Wichita Business Park, a project led by Industrial Realty Group (IRG) and Provider Real Estate Partners (PREP), the site will be redeveloped into a 650,000 sq ft multi‑tenant campus. The transformation is supported by $21 million in city‑issued industrial revenue bonds, a move approved by the City Council mid‑July.

🏢 Timeline & What’s Next:

And don’t worry—while the interior retail stores closed by June 30, existing anchors like Dillard’s Clearance Center, JCPenney, and the Boulevard Theatre are staying put.

Wichita’s skyline is changing—and this isn’t just a renovation, it’s a pivot. What do you think might pop up in the old mall spaces? Maybe a startup hub, advanced labs, or something else entirely? Let us know your thoughts!
