Killian’s Cedar Rapids Store History and 1979 Realty Moves
Killian’s long served Cedar Rapids as a leading retailer. The first site was at First Ave and Third St East in the Taft building, with later ground broken in 1912 for a five story, 35 department downtown store at Third Ave and Second St SE. In July last year, the chain faced financial trouble as it announced the sale of its Lindale and Sycamore mall stores to Petersen Harned Von Maur, with proceeds aimed at shoring up the downtown operation. The downtown complex has undergone several renovations, the latest in 1978, and includes an adjoining parking ramp with first floor retail space.
