Frontier Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located along Dell Range Blvd in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The single-level, 519,471-square-foot (48,260.4 m2) mall opened March 18, 1981.[2] Managed by CBL & Associates Properties of Chattanooga, Tennessee, it is Wyoming's second largest mall, boasting 67 shops, including six anchor stores: Dillard's,[3] JCPenney, JAX Outdoor Gear, Planet Fitness, Appliance Factory Mattress Kingdom, and Jo-Ann.

History

The mall's earliest anchor store to open was Sears which planned to open for their grand opening on October 8th, 1980, relocating from Downtown Cheyenne in the process.[4]

Some of the earliest interior tenants of the Frontier Mall included Chick-Fil-A, Denim Connection, Foxmoor, Kinney Shoes, Taco Etc., Thom McAn, Western Ranchman Outfitters, and Zales' Jewelers.[5]

CBL renovated the mall in 2007, adding three restaurants on the periphery.[6] All anchors are on one level.
