Woodmar Mall, located in Hammond, Indiana, was a prominent enclosed shopping center in the industrial region of Northwest Indiana. Opened in 1954 as a U-shaped open-air center, it later underwent renovations and expansions, including the addition of anchor stores and the conversion of spaces into mall stores. However, in the 2000s, the mall faced challenges due to competition from nearby stores and a decline in population, leading to its eventual demolition and redevelopment.
Despite its eventual demise, Woodmar Mall was known for its historical significance and unique features, such as the Court of Lions and the Court of Turtles. The mall attracted visitors with its diverse roster of stores, including major names like Carson Pirie Scott, Walgreens, and J.J. Newberry. Although the mall experienced a decline in its later years, it remains a memorable part of the retail history in the Hammond area.
