Originally opened in 1960 as an outdoor shopping center and turned to an enclosed space in the 1970s, this is the oldest shopping mall in the Tucson area. Situated in the heart of Tucson, El Con occupies the site which was originally the home of the majestic El Conquistador Hotel. El Con Mall is classified as a dead mall, because it is largely vacant. Besides the mall's anchor stores, only a multiplex movie theater and six other stores remain open, although several restaurants have opened on the periphery in the past five years. Because of the center's low occupancy rate, it is slated to be demolished and reverted to an open-air complex, although no official announcement has been made on the mall's redevelopment
