La Crosse city council approves permit to demolish old Macy’s store at Valley View Mall
A request to demolish the former Macy’s store at Valley View Mall was approved by La Crosse’s city council on Thursday.
Council members passed a resolution for a conditional use permit to let a developer replace the empty anchor store at the mall with three “quick-serve” restaurants, a car wash and about 100 more parking spaces.
A Raising Cane’s franchise, a Panda Express and a coffee shop are expected to be the restaurants.
The storefront was occupied by Dayton’s department store when the mall opened in 1980. Later it became a Marshall Field, Macy’s, and finally a Herbergers for a short time.
Macy’s left Valley View Mall in 2017.
