West Towne Mall is a shopping mall located in Madison, Wisconsin that is owned by CBL Properties. It was the first enclosed shopping center within 70 miles (110 km) of Madison with its grand opening October 15, 1970. The mall was designed by architect Lou Resnick and developed by Jacobs, Visconsi, and Jacobs Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, the developer of Brookfield Square in Milwaukee. The 56,000-square-foot (5,200 m2) Manchester's store was later replaced by a food court. West Towne is the sister mall to the East Towne Mall which opened a year later. As of 2008, West Towne Mall is anchored by Sears, J. C. Penney, Boston Store, and Dick's Sporting Goods.

“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting.

—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
