Title: Independence Center
Passage: Independence Center is a 1,032,000 sqft super-regional shopping mall located in Independence, Missouri.  The mall opened in 1974.  Its three department stores were Macy's, Sears and Stix, Baer & Fuller's.  The mall featured a unique three-level, 60 ft central atrium, with a series of ramps and stair risers traversing the expanse of open space.  In the center of the atrium, on the lowest floor, was a food court.  When it first opened and for many years afterward, the mall's advertising carried the memorable slogan "Independence Center: The "I" has it."  Independence Center even featured an enormous flashing advertising marquee which stood along I-70.  Independence Center was built by Homart, a division of Sears Roebuck & Co.  It was later acquired, owned and managed by Chicago-based LaSalle.  The mall saw its first cosmetic renovation in the mid-1980s.  Stix Baer & Fuller was replaced by Dillard's in 1984.  In 1985, after Dillard's acquired Macy's midwest stores, it sold the Independence Center location to Mercantile Stores, then the parent company of The Jones Store Co. In 1994, Independence Center was purchased by Simon Property Group.  In 1996, the mall added a two-story carousel in the atrium; and in 1998, the mall underwent a massive $20 million renovation, which improved the property's aesthetics and vertical transportation, and also improved the food court.  Also in 1998, a large children's play area was added.  In 2004, Independence Center saw another renovation, which added small shop space on the outside of the mall facing 39th Street.  In 2006 Macy's returned to its original location in the mall after the Federated-May department stores merger, which resulted in all Kansas City area Jones Store locations being converted to Macy's stores.
