White Mountain Mall is a shopping mall located in Rock Springs, Wyoming owned and managed by Brookfield Properties. It is one of only three enclosed malls in the entire state of Wyoming. The mall, which opened in 1978, is located near Interstate 80/U.S. Route 30/191, and features over 40 stores.[1] The anchor stores are Star Stadium 11 + ARQ, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply, Ross Dress for Less, Shoe Dept. Encore, TJ Maxx, Petco, and Dunham's Sports.
Plans for White Mountain were first announced by Price Rentals, Inc. of Salt Lake City in 1977, with Charles Petersen, also of Salt Lake City serving as architect. The mall was set to be, while the cost of the development would be $10 million, and have an anticipated opening date of December 1977. JCPenney, Ernst Home Center, and Woolworth would serve as anchors.[2] The mall opened in 1978 with the aforementioned tenants, as well as Herberger's.[3] It was the first enclosed shopping mall in the state of Wyoming.[4] [5]
Ernst's space was later a Walmart, and then Flaming Gorge Harley-Davidson. Now it is both Ross Dress for Less and Jo-Ann Fabrics[6]
The mall flooded on September 27, 2011, due to a water pipe bursting.[7] In January 2016, JCPenney announced its store will be closing its doors in Spring 2016. Both TJ Maxx and Petco now occupy the space that previously housed JCPenney.
In April 2018, it was announced that Herberger's would also be closing, as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018. In June 2021, work started on the former Herberger's space it being converted into a Dunham Sports store. It opened in October 2021, being the first in Wyoming.[8]
