DEAD MALL - Concord Mall - Elkhart Indiana - A Preserved 70s Gem (CLOSED) | ERA_Productions

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Concord Mall in Elkhart Indiana! Opening in 1972, It would start off strong with Montgomery Ward and Robertson's as it's original anchors. JCPenney would be added in 1976 and they would also expand the mall to add a third wing. Concord Mall had a fantastic start, and would dominate the Elkhart area. However, the South Bend region was gaining malls at a rapid pace at the time, and when University Park Mall opened up in 1979 in Mishawaka, Concord Mall would try to add more stores to keep itself alive. In 1985, Robertsons would close, and the space would be taken over by a Meis. In 1989, Meis would be converted to an Elder Beerman. By the 1990s, Concord Mall was starting to showing signs of struggles, as University Park Mall would dominate the South Bend Region. Concord Mall would loose Montgomery Ward in 2002, but it would be replaced with Hobby Lobby and ABC Warehouse. By this point, Concord would be showing its age with no major renovation ever taking place. 2011 saw Elder Beerman get rebranded to Carson's. There was no saving Concord Mall now with occupancy so low. 2018 saw Carson's Close, and 2023 saw JCPenney leave Concord. With redevelopment in the works, let's take a walk through this classic 70s time capsule!
