Diverse New Businesses Opening at Kennedy Mall

The lineup of new businesses continues to grow at Kennedy Mall in Dubuque, Iowa.  Thirsty Guys is now open and catering to the growing crowd of boba tea fans. The 875 square foot shop is located next to Shoe Carnival. Boba tea, also known as bubble tea or pearl milk tea, is a Taiwanese beverage invented in the 1980s. It typically consists of a tea base mixed with milk or fruit and chewy tapioca pearls, often called “boba”.  Thirsty Guys features dozens of delicious varieties of boba tea, as well as smoothies and snacks, such as guacamole on toast, loaded nachos, avocado cheese sandwiches and hummus with pita.

A very different type of business will soon be opening elsewhere in the mall.  Fresenius Medical Care is scheduled to open in early 2026.  This new health care facility will provide dialysis services to patients in a 10,240 square foot clinical space on the northern end of the mall.  It will be located near Books-A-Million and Marshalls, which is set to open next summer. Fresenius Medical Care is the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases. Through its network of 3,674 dialysis clinics, Fresenius Medical Care provides dialysis treatments for nearly 300,000 patients around the globe.  Prior to its opening at Kennedy Mall, Fresenius will be seeking new staff members.  There will be a hiring event in Center Court on Friday, November 7, from noon to 4pm.

Kennedy Mall has been serving the people of northeast Iowa, as well as nearby communities in Wisconsin and Illinois, since 1970.  Located at 555 J.F.K. Road in Dubuque, the complex encompasses nearly 700,000 square feet of space. Asbury Plaza is located at the intersection of Iowa Route 32 (Northwest Arterial) and Asbury Road in Dubuque, Iowa.  The mall and plaza are owned and managed as part of the Cafaro family of companies, based in Niles, Ohio.  For more information, visit www.cafarocompany.com and www.kennedymall.com.

Make Way for Marshalls

It’s a first-of-its-kind for savvy local shoppers.  The first Marshalls in the Dubuque area will debut next summer at Kennedy Mall.  The new store will occupy a 24,000 square foot space next to Books-A-Million.

Marshalls is a wildly popular off-price retailer.  It offers the perfect combination of brand, fashion, price, and quality. Unlike traditional retailers, it generally doesn’t do promotions, sales, or coupons. Customers will find the latest brand-name, designer, and other high-quality fashion for less than department and specialty store prices on comparable items every single day.  Each store receives different shipments every week, so you never know what you’ll find.  If you see something you love, add it to your cart.

Marshalls’ buyers are always hustling, travelling the world in search of the best finds in fashion, home, shoes, beauty, and accessories.  Marshalls’ slogan puts it this way: “We get the deals. You get the good stuff.™” There are currently over 1,200 Marshalls stores in the United States.  Marshalls is owned by TJX Companies, which also operates T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, Sierra, and HomeSense.

Kennedy Mall has been serving the people of northeast Iowa, as well as nearby communities in Wisconsin and Illinois, since 1970.  Located at 555 J.F.K.
