History

Early proposals for an enclosed shopping center in Manhattan date back to 1971, when Topeka developer John Haley revealed plans to construct a mall on the southwest edge of Manhattan at the intersection of K-113 and K-18 [3] that would come to be known as the Landmark Mall. [4] Haley encountered pushback from city officials, and the project ultimately failed to materialize. The proposed site of the Landmark Mall was eventually developed as the Seth Child Commons open-air strip center, anchored by Target, in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, the Manhattan City Commission at least acknowledged the possibility of a major shopping mall located downtown when it decided to condemn and demolish a half-block of buildings and replace them with off-street parking. [5]

Manhattan Town Center's Dillard's store opened on October 7, 1987 [6] followed by the remainder of the mall, including the second anchor, JCPenney, on October 26, 1987. [7] The third anchor, Sears, was later added to the south end of the mall and opened on September 17, 1990. [8] In 2014, Sears closed amidst the company's widespread financial struggles. [9] The vacant Sears store was demolished and replaced by the Carmike Cinemas Town Center 13 movie theater (with 12 regular screens and one IMAX), which opened in December 2016. [10] It was subsequently renamed following AMC Theatres' acquisition of Carmike.

As of September 2020, Manhattan Town Center's retail tenants include original anchors Dillard's (73,000 sq. ft.) and JCPenney (49,691 sq. ft.) [11] as well as other national retailers including American Eagle Outfitters, Books-A-Million, Buckle, Famous Footwear, Hot Topic, Kay Jewelers, Maurices, Victoria's Secret, and Ulta Beauty. In February 2019, mall officials announced that H&M planned to open an 18,000 sq. ft. store in the mall, the chain's first Kansas location outside of the Kansas City or Wichita areas. [12] The mall property also includes four full-service restaurants: HuHot Mongolian Grill, Applebee's, Chili's, and Texas Roadhouse. In addition to retail, the mall also hosts various community functions including Manhattan High School's prom. [13]
