History
Indian Mound Mall opened in 1986 as the first indoor shopping mall in Licking County. Its original anchor stores were Elder-Beerman, J. C. Penney, and Lazarus, as well as a Hills acting as a secondary anchor. Crown Cinema, located in the rear of the mall, was added in 1988. A fountain that had originally been in the center of the mall was removed in 1997. Also in 1997 the mall added Sears, replacing a freestanding store nearby, and the Crown Theaters was expanded from six screens to eleven, becoming a Hollywood Theater shortly thereafter. In 1998 Elder-Beerman was expanded, adding an additional 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2). In 1999 Hills was replaced by Ames, which in turn closed in 2002. Steve & Barry's moved into the empty store in 2004. In 2004, Lazarus closed, and Goody's moved in during the following year. Goody's closed at the end of May 2008, leaving Indian Mound Mall with an empty anchor store for the first time since 2004. The mall also contains a food court, with numerous large chain fast food restaurants, including Arby's, Charley's Steakery, Sbarro and Taco Bell. Steve & Barry's closed its store located at Indian Mound Mall in 2008. In February 2010, the former food themed children's soft play area was replaced with a new outdoor, woodsy themed play area, featuring a large tree with slide, bear, river and more. Dick's Sporting Goods opened in the former Goody's in 2011.

“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
