There's been shopping at this location for 60 years. Originally an indoor shopping mall on two levels it's now just another nondescript, suburban strip retail center.
The original Town and Country Mall here was considered one of the first indoor malls in the nation. Anchored by JC Penney, Kresge, an A&P supermarket, and a local hardware "superstore," it included a number of boutique shops, a small cafe, and a fountain. It was classy for the largely, middle class, white suburban audience. All that was razed to create the chopped up Overland Plaza with multiple buildings in 1990.
Today the main stores are a Schnucks grocery, Marshall's, Dollar Tree, CVS Pharmacy, and Foot Locker. Dozens of smaller stores and offices provide nail, wig, payroll check cashing, eye care, mobile phone, banking, and sports goods and services.
McDonalds, Subway, and Wing Stop offer dining options. read more
