Westroads Mall is an enclosed shopping mall with over 135 stores located in Omaha, Nebraska at the intersection of 100th and Dodge Streets. It is the largest mall in the state of Nebraska, with 14.5 million customer visits annually.
Designed by real estate developer John Wiebe, Westroads cost $25 million to build, including $15 million for store inventories & fixtures. It opened to the public on August 1, 1968. It originally opened with 68 tenants, later expanding to approximately 120 at the end of its first full year. During the mall's early years, it was home to a chapel and movie theatre, as well as a heliport on the roof. Prudential Insurance Co. purchased the mall from Wiebe for $45 Million in 1977. In 1997, General Growth Properties bought the mall from Prudential and remains the owner. The mall has been renovated several times: in 1990, 1995, 1999 and 2003. Westroads is Nebraska's largest shopping mall with a gross leasable area of 1.2 million square feet
On December 5, 2007, a man later identified as Robert A. Hawkins entered the Von Maur anchor store with a semi automatic rifle and began firing. One report indicated that at least 25 rounds had been fired. Nine people were killed (including the gunman), and five people injured, all within Von Maur.

I think on the second floor somewhere, right by Suncoast (unless it's been closed), is the Cookie Factory, which has awesome cookies. Sadly, The Afternoon is no more. | ||||
