Quincy Place

In the 40's and 50's Ottumwa had a thriving downtown. Then they paved in our main street and everything went down hill. Quincy Place Mall is small mall but we are a large town trying to make it back to a great retail hub. It has great anchors, Herbergers,, J.C. Penney's and M.C. Sporting Goods. We have 2 of your typical name brand young people clothing stores also Marices, and Christan Banks, 2 eateries, 1 full service salon, 1 shoe store, 1 jewelry store, 1 nail salon, 1 accessary shop, 1 Bath and Body, 2 locally owned craft or accessary stores, and a cell phone shop in the middle. Considering the nearest large city mall is 100 miles from Ottumwa, I consider that our mall is excellent and always trying to improve. You could find what you need in a pinch. Pam Reynolds more

When Quincy Place Mall opened in 1990 I was so excited. This was Ottumwa's first mall and I couldn't wait for it to open. Boy was I disappointed when it opened. At the time alot of the stores were food stores...you can't do much shopping in those. These days the mall has changed. Stores have closed & new ones have opened. Yet, the mall still hasn't really improved. Basically, it's just nothing special. It is nowhere near as good as any of the malls in Des Moines. The only thing I really enjoy about this mall is the Halloween trick or treating. Every Halloween the mall has trick or treating in all of its stores. It's a great way to take the kids to get some candy in a safe environment. more
