North Grand Mall

North Grand Mall is a 340,000-square-foot shopping center serving the city of Ames, Iowa. In 2006, plans were announced for a $30 million renovation and expansion. In 2004, a farmers' market operated at the mall. Opened in 1971, the mall's anchor stores are JCPenney and Younkers, with a third anchor Sears, having announced its closure in late 2008. The Sears building was torn down, with Kohl's, T.J Maxx, and Shoe Carnival opening on its site.
In 2017, then-owners GK Development sold the mall to a trio of investors.
Younkers closed in 2018, because of bankruptcy. The northern section of the former department store is now a Planet Fitness.
