Various media reports said the Indianapolis-based company is closing the malls as a precaution against the coronavirus. Towne East and other malls had previously moved to a shorter schedule, closing at 7 p.m.
The closing will take effect Wednesday evening and the malls are expected to reopen on March 29th.
