Hampton Towne Centre

Hampton Towne Centre, formerly Hampton Square Mall, was an enclosed shopping mall in Hampton Township, Michigan, just outside the city of Essexville, Michigan, United States. The mall opened on November 12, 1975. The property featured Kmart and Wiechmann's as its anchor stores, with an A&P supermarket opening in 1977 and JCPenney in 1989. A number of factors caused the mall's decline in the 1990s and onward, including the relocation of JCPenney to Bay City Mall (now Bay City Town Center), and the closures of A&P, Wiechmann's, and Kmart. The building, vacant except for a thrift store, an intermediate school district, and a Michigan Department of Human Services office, was last owned by Art Dore until his death in 2022.
