The ZCMI Center Mall was a shopping mall in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, that operated from 1975 to 2007, before being demolished to make way for City Creek Center. The mall was developed and owned by Zions Securities Corporation, a for-profit entity owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The mall was located kitty-corner from the church's Temple Square.
The name, ZCMI, is an acronym for Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, an early American department store founded by the LDS Church in 1868 and headquartered on the mall's site for many decades. ZCMI would be the mall's major tenant, which, at the time of its opening, was the largest downtown mall in the United States.[1] Soon after the mall opened, another downtown shopping mall, Crossroads Plaza, was built directly across the street.
