History
Melvin Simon & Associates announced the development of Markland Mall in 1967. Original tenants included Sears, Danners 5 & 10, a Kroger supermarket, SupeRx drugstore,[2] and an Ayr-Way discount store.[3]
The Danners store became William H. Block Co. in 1974.[4] Ayr-Way was converted to Target along with the rest of the Ayr-Way chain in 1981.[5] In 1985, the William H. Block store was expanded, taking over a mall hallway and space vacated by Robert Hall Village. This was part of a mall expansion that included the installation of new floor tiles and skylights, as well as the extension of certain storefronts to give the hallways a "staggered" appearance.[6] Block later became Lazarus in 1987, and then Macy's before closing.
In 2001, Old Navy was added to the mall, replacing space once occupied by a Goodyear service center.[7] Lazarus became Macy's before closing in 2005. The movie theater, also an original tenant, closed in 2006.[8] In 2011, the former Lazarus space became Carson's, resulting in the closure of an Elder-Beerman at the nearby Kokomo Mall (now Kokomo Town Center).[9]
