Refreshed. This word is befitting the multi-million dollar renovation of the 816,000+ square-foot super regional shopping center. Dakota Square has a new look and it certainly is a breath of fresh air.  
Multiple enhancements including a new color palette of soft blues, grays and muted earth tones for the mall’s common area. The existing flooring was replaced with new tile and carpet, and interior finishes reflect the area’s natural beauty with looks of natural stone and wood.  Contemporary new overhead drum and pendant lighting create a light, airy ambiance.   The food court was updated with new furniture and seating configurations designed for family and community dining. New soft seating replaced the mall’s wooden benches, creating ‘conversation’ areas perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends.  There are also three separate charging stations strategically placed in the center for use by our guests and are free of charge.
Dakota Square recently had a very robust Wi-Fi system installed. This service is also free to guests. Dakota Square welcomed SRT Communications as one of their newest business partners. SRT is the sponsor of the new Wi-Fi system.  
“We are committed to keeping Dakota Square Mall fresh and vibrant,” says Chuck Massey, the mall’s general manager.  “This was an exciting project which underscores our focus on delivering the premiere destination to shop, dine and enjoy an outing with family and friends.”
A landmark in the region, Dakota Square Mall serves a wide trade area reaching across the Canadian border into the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
