Omaha's Westroads Center

First came CROSSROADS, then SOUTHROADS. The third of Omaha's "Roads" malls was developed in the city's western environs. WESTROADS CENTER opened, in January 1968, as the largest retail hub in the Corn Husker State. The mall's original logo promoted the complex as America's 8th Largest Shopping Center.

The heart of WESTROADS was known as Central Park. This lushly landscaped court, underneath an "Astrodome" skylight, was 2-stories high. The mall entrance of the Kilpatrick's department store faced the area.
