Dakota Square Mall is an enclosed shopping center in the city of Minot, North Dakota.
Overview
At 675,000 square feet (62,700 m2), as of 2005,[1] the Dakota Square Mall is the largest mall within a 110-mile (180 km) radius. It is the third largest mall in North Dakota, boasting 70 shops, with four major anchor stores, a food court, and a nine-screen Carmike Cinema with stadium seating. It also includes local recruiting offices for the United States military.
One unique feature of the mall is a Sleep Inn & Suites directly attached to the mall itself, which opened in November 2003.[2] The hotel also features Splashdown Dakota Super Slides, a 24,000-square-foot (2,200 m2) water park complex which opened in April 2004.[2] Dakota Square is one of only a few shopping malls in the United States to feature an attached hotel.
Dakota Square also includes several businesses not physically attached to the mall complex itself. These stores include a fast food restaurant, a grocery store, and an electronics retail store.
Located 50 miles (80 km) from the Canada–US border, the mall also draws a significant number of customers from Canada.[3][4]
History
The mall opened in 1980.[5]
Formerly owned by Jones Lang LaSalle of Chicago, Illinois, the mall was later owned by The Lightstone Group[1] and sold again to CBL & Associates Properties in May 2012.[6]
Barnes & Noble is located in the mall and opened on March 12, 2008. Also in 2008, Scheels All Sports expanded into a store previously occupied by Old Navy. As a result, Old Navy relocated within the mall.[7]
