Lafayette Square Mall - Pop Up Market

My sas tifecho

it has been awhile since I have been at this mall. The photos tell a VERY SAD STORY. I am not sure how it happened but this mall has become a ghost town. These photos were taken on Saturday, March 1st, around 3 pm. The mall SHOULD HAVE been packed. There are just a few stores left in this large mall. From the pictures, you can see that there are yellow gates to keep people out of the mall. There is also a police presence about the property. What s pity that this place is closed

This used to be the spot when I was growing up...but ever since Simon Malls sold the place ,, it's been going downhill ever since . I bought my first pair of sneakers from Lafayette Square , bought my first fitted hat . Had my first date at Lafayette Square && had bought my first pair of designer jeans at Lafayette . The first time I ever had a Cinnabon was at Lafayette Square && I bought my first grills from here . Lafayette holds a lot of memories for me...so to see what it's turned into is a sad sight to see . It's pretty much turned into a flea market with a handful of stores that I would never shop at . I keep hearing that there's new developments on the way...but it seems like I've been hearing that for almost a decade at this point && whoever the current owner is STILL hasn't done anything to move the needle with this mall . I heard from a former employee that used to work security for the mall that the current owner also owns The Alamo Brewhouse across the street . I'm not sure if that's the truth or if they were just bumping their gums...but if that's the case ,, that explains why The Alamo is charging an arm && a leg for a movie ticket , a cup of water and some chicken fingers . They're probably bleeding money trying to keep Lafayette afloat . At this point...they're better off just demolishing the mall and leveling the place . Then build something else entirely or rebuild the mall with a new && improved revamped look that'll attract consumers . There's a BUNCH of people who wished there was still a mall on this side of town . Who wants to drive 30-mins in another direction to get to a mall when Lafayette is a 10min or less drive from everybody on the west side of town . Hopefully the owner sees this && does something...because it's getting ridiculous at this point . If you don't have the funds to fix the building or rebuild it from scratch ,, then sell it to somebody who's capable of the task at hand .

This mall has really gone downhill. I'm wondering when they will close it for good. There are no stores to really shop in because all of the them have packed up and left. The parking lot is horrible because it has more potholes than Indianapolis streets. The security they have is a joke! The indoor play area for children is worth the trip.

I can't wait for our. New mall to open I hope on pra7it be by Christmas

Lafayette Square Mall used to be such a busy successful mall in the mid to late 90s. When I came back here for curiosity sake it was strange. The decor was mostly the same but there were no people or anchor stores.

Love the prices and the customer service. It's like having TEMU at your fingertips.
