I have recently re-visited the Beaver Dam Mall. There have been some changes to the mall. First of all, the mall is now called Heritage Village. The Herberger's moved to the spot occupied by Wal-Mart, and has been re-christened Boston Store. However, there was still the same lack of customers. A Dunham's Sports was added as well. However, the still empty inside corridors of the mall were entirely closed off. Who knows what is going to happen next!

There have been a couple of updates to this mall.  The mall is now known as Heritage Village.  Also, Herberger's moved to a new location in the old Wal-Mart store, and it now bears the Boston Store name.  However, the business is struggling.  I've driven by the mall on several occasions, and I've yet to see more than ten cars parked in front of it.  More than likely, the cars belong to the people who work there.

A little while back, I sent a submission for Beaver Dam Mall in Beaver Dam, WI. I found some more information on the mall. It has been renamed Heritage Village Shops. More info can be found at www.heritagevillageshops.com.

The city of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, located halfway between Fond du Lac and Madison, has plenty of amentities, all within easy access of US 151. However, don't bother looking inside the Beaver Dam Mall, located at the intersection of Spring Street and Industrial Drive on the north side of town.

One day, I took a walk through the mall. There were only two stores and a Chinese buffet open. The mall once had Wal-Mart, JC Penney, and Herberger's (part of the Boston Store/Younkers family) as anchors. Only Herberger's remains, and it seems to do all right, despite the lack of business in the mall. Wal-Mart moved to a new supercenter a couple of miles away, and JC Penney is now Slumberland furniture. However, Slumberland has sealed off the access to the rest of the mall.

At one time, there was a letter on the door to the mall from the management group that owns the mall, stating that there only plans for the mall are to attract new tenants. Yeah, good luck with that! With a bigger and better mall in Fond du Lac, and FOUR ENCLOSED MALLS in Madison, I'm sure that the people in Beaver Dam are heading to the greener pastures of Mad City and Fondie to do their shopping!
