Overview
Indiana Mall is an enclosed, single-level regional shopping center on the western edge of Indiana, Pennsylvania. The property is positioned near the intersection of Oakland Avenue, Pennsylvania Route 286, and Indian Springs Road, close to the US 422 Business corridor. Its role is primarily that of a local and regional retail destination, combining department-store, sporting-goods, home-improvement, farm-and-ranch, entertainment, and food-service uses under one roof. The mall has experienced substantial tenant turnover as traditional department stores and discount retailers changed their store networks. Old Navy entered the property in 2006 but left in 2012. The cinema operation, formerly associated with Carmike Cinemas, changed ownership in 2015 when it was sold to Golden Star Theaters; the theater later operated as MovieScoop Cinemas. Kmart, whose space had been expanded in 1992, closed in October 2017 after Sears Holdings announced the location as part of a nationwide store-reduction program. Sears itself was announced for closure in November 2017 and shut in January 2018. The Bon-Ton subsequently closed during the liquidation of its stores following the company's bankruptcy, removing another major anchor. Other changes included the closure of IBEX, a call-center operation located in the mall, at the end of June 2018. Kohl's joined the property in 2019, taking over the former Sears space and restoring a major department-store presence. Ownership and financial control also changed: the mall was turned over to a bank by Zamias in December 2020, although Zamias continued to provide management services. Kohan Retail Investment Group acquired the mall in April 2022 for a reported $6.9 million. The transaction reflected the repositioning of older regional malls through lower acquisition costs, new anchor concepts, and replacement tenants. Dunham's Sports was announced as a replacement for the former Bon-Ton space and opened in July 2023. The former Kmart area was later converted for Rural King, a farm and rural-lifestyle retailer; the new store opened on August 7, 2025, according to the referenced mall history. With Rural King occupying that former anchor area, the mall's principal anchor spaces are described as occupied by MovieScoop Cinemas, Dunham's Sports, Harbor Freight Tools, Kohl's, JCPenney, and Rural King. Indiana Mall therefore remains an active retail property, although its tenant mix and ownership structure continue to reflect the broader evolution of enclosed shopping centers in the United States.
History
Indiana Mall is an enclosed, single-level regional shopping mall located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, near Oakland Avenue, Pennsylvania Route 286, and Indian Springs Road. Its location on the western edge of town serves Indiana and nearby communities in western Pennsylvania. The property combines traditional mall circulation with large anchor spaces and entertainment uses. The mall's history has been shaped by changes in the American department-store and enclosed-mall sectors. Old Navy joined in 2006, expanding the property's national apparel offering, but departed six years later. The mall's cinema was formerly operated by Carmike Cinemas and was sold to Golden Star Theaters in 2015. It subsequently operated under the MovieScoop Cinemas name. Kmart, which had expanded its mall space in 1992, was selected for closure in a Sears Holdings program announced in June 2017. The store shut in October of that year. Sears Holdings announced the closure of the mall's Sears store in November 2017, and that store closed in January 2018. The Bon-Ton later announced that its Indiana Mall location would close during the chain's storewide liquidation connected to its bankruptcy. The Bon-Ton departure removed another major anchor from the property. IBEX, a call-center business operating in the mall, also closed at the end of June 2018. Kohl's entered the property in 2019, using the vacant Sears space. This provided the mall with a replacement department-store anchor while the wider property continued to adapt to changing retail patterns. In December 2020, Indiana Mall was turned over to a bank by Zamias, although Zamias remained involved as the mall's management company. Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the property in April 2022 for a reported $6.9 million. The subsequent tenant strategy emphasized replacement anchors with practical and destination-oriented appeal. Dunham's Sports was announced for the former Bon-Ton location and opened in July 2023. The former Kmart space was converted for Rural King, a retailer serving farm, ranch, hardware, and rural-lifestyle customers. Rural King opened on August 7, 2025, and the referenced history describes the mall's principal anchor spaces as occupied by MovieScoop Cinemas, Dunham's Sports, Harbor Freight Tools, Kohl's, JCPenney, and Rural King. Indiana Mall consequently remains active while illustrating the continuing transition of regional malls from department-store-centered formats toward mixed retail, entertainment, and value-oriented destination uses.
