About this mall

The Citadel Mall is one of the two enclosed shopping malls of Colorado Springs.

Arguably one of the most confusing layouts in the state for a shopping development, the Citadel Mall is situated on a tract of land which has three separate elevations for entrances. The three levels of the shopping center are not all directly connected in one place, although the food court is three levels of its own, and does serve as one of the two hubs of the mall. Although most of the mall interior has been remodeled since its opening, the exterior retains its ’70’s style.

The mall campus has struggled to keep anchor stores not connected to the mall occupied in the last several years, and although a cinema was once located on the grounds, the mall itself has never had a theater attached to it. (Actually the mall did have an attached theater prior to the phase two expansion, the theater was located just south of the food court near the present location of Victoria Secret)
