Big Changes Coming to Former Younkers Space at Lindale Mall

The Younkers store at Lindale Mall in Cedar Rapids closed in 2018. Since then, it has been home to events like the Festival of Trees, pop-up sales, and seasonal stores like Spirit Halloween. But now, a new retailer is making plans to take over the space.

Former Lindale Mall Younkers Has Been Sold

KCRG reports that the former Younkers store at Lindale Mall has been sold. That fact was later confirmed by Cedar Rapids City Council member Scott Olson. Olson also stated that it is the same developer that recently opened Dick's House of Sport in the old Sears location. According to KCRG, the developer is also behind the recent opening of Vasa Fitness in the old Collins Road Hy-Vee store.

Some Lindale Mall Businesses Forced to Move

News that there were changes coming to Lindale Mall surfaced when Iron Lotus Tattoo shared details on social media that they were being forced to move.

The post stated that the shop was given 60 days to find a new home. Fortunately, they did. Iron Lotus can now be found at 5303 North Park Place.

KCRG also reports that Locker Room Legends, which was also located on the lower level of Lindale Mall, confirmed that it will be moving upstairs. It hopes to open sometime in mid-November.

What Will Be Moving Into the Old Younkers?

That is the million-dollar question, isn't it? KCRG reports that Olson said it is his understanding that there is a tenant for the Younkers space. Neither Lindale Mall nor the developer responded when asked for comment.
