Lindale Mall is an enclosed regional shopping mall on the northeast side of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Lindale is anchored by Sears, Von Maur, and Younkers. Outparcel properties include a free-standing Hy-Vee supermarket and Jo-Ann (occupying a former movie theater),as well as several restaurants, including Arby's, Five Guys Burgers, Cheddars, Hurricane Bar and Grill, Panda Express, Red Lobster,and Chick-Fil-A.
On February 15, 1956, Sears and Younkers announced plans for a new open-air shopping center in northeast Cedar Rapids. These plans were opposed by downtown Cedar Rapids merchants, who formed an organization to oppose the rezoning of the land from residential to commercial use. The Cedar Rapids City Council eventually approved the rezoning, and Lindale Plaza opened on September 15, 1960. Sears, Younkers, and Killian's (a local department store) were Lindale's original anchors, with Sears relocating from downtown Cedar Rapids. Other early tenants included Kresge's, an Eagle supermarket, and Bishop's Buffet (which closed in September 2003). Sears and Younkers are the only two tenants who have continuously operated at Lindale since its opening.
