History

Quincy Place Mall opened in August 1990, as a 270,000 sq ft mall anchored by JCPenney, Herberger's, and Walmart. [2] The opening of the mall also followed the closure and redevelopment of a previous pedestrian mall in downtown Ottumwa. [3] Pat Buchanan visited the mall in 1999, as part of a five-day trip through Iowa. [4]

Walmart closed its store at the mall in 2003, relocating to a freestanding supercenter. [5] Goody's opened in a portion of the former space by 2004. [6]

By 2015, Dollar Tree and MC Sports had moved into a portion of the former Walmart. [2] JCPenney closed at the mall in 2017, bringing to an end 101 years of the retailer being in Ottumwa. [7] MC Sports closed at the mall in 2017, as part of their bankruptcy, and was replaced by Dunham's Sports in 2018. [8] Herberger's closed at the mall in 2018, bringing the mall's occupancy down to just a third. [9] The mall, as of 2019, has gained entertainment tenants including Gamertag and primarily, the Ottumwa Old-School Pinball and Arcade and the Video Game Hall of Fame. [10] Over the past couple years, the mall has also been the home of the Galaxies of Gaming convention, run by Walter Day and Twin Galaxies. [11]

In 2022 the remaining unused portion of the old Wal-Mart building was converted into a Harbor Freight. [12]
