Evansville’s Eastland Mall Losing Popular Retail Store – Gaining Slime Fun

As they say, when one store closes, another one opens. Ok, I might've just made that up, but it is true at Eastland Mall in Evansville, Indiana.

Keeping Malls Alive

I love going to the mall. Maybe it's because I grew up thirty miles away from Evansville, and going to the mall was not something we did very often. So, anytime I see empty spaces or stores planning to close, I am always hopeful that something new and exciting will fill the space.

Tilly's Closing January 8, 2023

As my son and I were making our way down to Hot Topic, I noticed this giant sign in the window of Tilly's announcing that it would be closing soon. The sign says that this location of Tilly's in Eastland Mall will be closing on January 8, 2023. You will still be able to shop online at tillys.com.
