Central Plaza, formerly Central Mall, is a shopping mall located in Lawton, Oklahoma that opened in 1979 and was last renovated in 2002.[1] The mall is anchored by FISTA and JCPenney.[4][3]

History

Central Mall was suffering from gang issues in April 2007.[5] The mall experienced flooding issues in June 2016.[6] Sears closed at the mall in 2017, with Dillard's later closing in 2020.[3] The City of Lawton purchased Central Mall for $14.6 million in early January 2021 from the Kohan Retail Investment Group.[2][7] The FISTA Development Trust Authority holds a 25-year lease to house various defense related businesses in the mall.[2]

Central Mall was renamed Central Plaza in August 2021 and redevelopment plans were also announced.[8] renovations began early 2022, and several shops left.
