Former Lafayette Square Sears being repurposed into pop-up market

The mall was initially scheduled to reopen Nov. 21 for the holiday season.

INDIANAPOLIS — Sojos Capital, the development group behind the Lafayette Square Mall renovations, is repurposing the Sears store to help tenants during the mall's temporary closure.

The mall was initially scheduled to reopen Nov. 21 for the holiday season, but construction challenges delayed the reopening. At the time, Sojos Capital said they were working with tenants to evaluate needs and come up with a plan. A statement from the group said, in part:

"Tenants will also have the opportunity to relocate to a free, temporary space in a former anchor store, open to the general public, to allow them to continue doing business until construction is complete."

On Tuesday, Sojos Capital announced a pop-up market will open in the former Sears store, where Lafayette Square tenants can set up shop without any rent payments. The market will open Friday, Nov. 25 at 9 a.m.

Normal hours for the market will be as follows:

  • Thursday-Saturday: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
