West Ridge Mall is an enclosed shopping center in Topeka, Kansas, serving shoppers from northeast Kansas. Its official site describes a blend of local and national restaurants and retail chains, along with email-only deals and a events calendar for community and family activities. The mall returned to local ownership and management after years of out-of-state control, and the owners have announced plans to improve it. Per Wikipedia, it has three open anchor stores and two vacant former anchor spaces, and it ranks as the third largest enclosed mall in Kansas.
