The former mall site is identified by the City of Leavenworth as the former Leavenworth Plaza Mall site at 3400 S. 4th Street.[3]

Leavenworth Plaza was an indoor shopping center in Leavenworth, Kansas. Originally opened in 1967, the mall was anchored by J.C. Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Safeway. Duckwall-ALCO Retail Stores added a store in 1972.[4]

Montgomery Ward became Sears in 1987.[5] A movie theater was added in 1993 after Duckwall-ALCO closed.[6] J.C. Penney closed in 2003,[7] and Sears later closed as well. The mall's original owners, Copaken, White & Blitt, sold it to Colliers Turley Martin Tucker in 2008.[8] The property is currently managed by Dial Properties [9]

The movie theater closed in 2010. Westlake Ace Hardware still operates in a portion of the building.[10] By 2013, the remaining tenants were Ace Hardware, GNC, Curves, RadioShack, and Cato Corporation, with the indoor area closed.[11] Demolition of the interior mall began in November 2015.[12] As of 2025, only Ace Hardware remains active on the site.
