Ward Parkway Center, Ward Parkway Mall, or Ward Parkway Shopping Center is a shopping center located in Kansas City, Missouri on the Kansas/Missouri border line. The location surrounds the area on the North from 85th Terrace to 89th Street on the South and on the West from State Line RoadtoWard Parkway on the East. Once a two floor mall with a food court it now has one floor with the first floor enclosed. The mall itself is currently in a redevelopment phase and has been in business since 1959. Former stores Sam Goody, Gap, TGI Friday's, The Limited, and Winstead's. Ward Parkway Center is the location of the first modern movie multiplex, with its original two screens (since renovated and expanded to 14 screens) still operated by AMC Theatres. Originally a tiny two-screen theater located near Montgomery Ward, later expanded to the new complex.
Ward Parkway Center has been updated inside and out with evidence of more foot traffic despite expansion development and some empty storefronts.
Ward Parkway Center is set to develop the former Dillard's site — six years after the department store closed. In 2016, plans were approved for a 31,000-square-foot, U-shaped addition with six restaurant tenants and a pedestrian plaza, all on south end of the center. The tenants include Smitty's Garage, Torchy's Tacos Charleston's Restaurant, Hawaiian Bros, and Hurts Donuts. The two middle buildings were expanded into 18,000 square feet with smaller tenants on either side. Buildings on the north and south end of the addition include patios.
Chick-fil-A has a pad site outside of Target fronting State Line Road.
