Washington Square Mall Evansville, Indiana ERM Thrift Store

You've probably heard the 'Dead Mall' expression and immediately think about Washington Square Mall. That may be true for now, but the Evansville Rescue Mission plans to bring it back to life with a new shopping experience, plus a new coffee shop.

Exciting New Shopping Experience

The Thrift Store by Evansville Rescue Mission is located inside Washington Square Mall and offers a completely different thrift shopping experience. This promises to be a huge opportunity for the ERM and Washington Square Mall. And by huge, I'm talking over 11,000 square feet, complete with a new storefront facing Green River Road.
