Concord Mall is Elkhart County's only indoor shopping mall. It has steadily gone downhill in the past decade with many stores (including Wards, MCL Cafeteria, K-Bee Toys, Sam Goody, Fox Jewelers) closing up in recent years. The closure of Sam Goody has left the mall with no music store. In the middle of the mall sits what once was a huge unique working fountain, but it has been shut off for about 15 years, and they planted fake palm trees in there instead. There is an old KMart store on property that the mall owns (sitting adjacent to the mall itself) that has been vacant for over a decade. They have tried to "revitalize" the mall with a new website and a Food Court, but the food court only contains one restaurant with three empty spots and it has been open for almost two years.

When I moved to Goshen from Fort Wayne, I saw the future of this mall. In 2008 it resembled Southtown Mall in Fort Wayne. Vacant store fronts and struggling anchor stores. Recently, investors have purchased and are going to try to revitalize with combination of remaining stores and businesses adding living spaces and light industrial.

Concord Mall is even more dead now than in the video above.

Oh, wow. Sooo many memories of this place in the mid to late 80s. For the xmas season, the shut off the fountain and did this winter wonderland thing....probably cheesy af but as a kid it seemed magical. Meis, Chess King, MCL Cafeteria, at the 3 stores most vivid in my memories...there was that massive book store that later became a JoAnn Fabrics or something. I'll be back up in Indiana for the first time in 25 years this summer and I want to go see the old Concord one last time.
