Dakota Square Mall is an enclosed shopping center in the city of Minot, North Dakota.[1] The mall's anchor stores are JCPenney, Scheels All Sports, Target, Barnes & Noble, AMC Theatres, T-Mobile, Carter's, Old Navy, and Ulta Beauty.
At 675,000 square feet (62,700 m2), as of 2005,[2] the Dakota Square Mall is the largest mall within a 110-mile (180 km) radius. It is the third largest mall in North Dakota, boasting 70 shops, with two major anchor stores (JCPenney and Target), a food court, and a nine-screen AMC Classic Dakota Square 9 with stadium seating. Located 50 miles (80 km) from the Canada–US border, the mall also draws a significant number of customers from Canada.[3][4]
One unique feature of the mall is a Sleep Inn & Suites directly attached to the mall itself, which opened in November 2003.[5] The hotel also features Splashdown Dakota Super Slides, a 24,000-square-foot (2,200 m2) water park complex which opened in April 2004.[5] Dakota Square is one of only a few shopping malls in the United States to feature an attached hotel.[6] [7]
