History

[edit | edit source]

Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation first proposed Gulf View Square in 1974. At the time, its anchor stores were slated to be Sears, Maas Brothers, Belk-Lindsey, and Robinson's of Florida.[2] The mall opened in March 1980 with Belk-Lindsey and Montgomery Ward as its anchor stores.[3] Maas Brothers opened in August 1981,[4] with Sears following in July 1982.[5]

JCPenney opened on the fifth anchor slot, which was originally planned for Burdines, in 1990.[6] Burdines ultimately entered the mall by taking over the Maas Brothers store a year later.

Dillard's bought the Belk-Lindsey store in 1992.[7] Casual Corner, Off The Wall, and Chess King all closed in 1996.[8] A food court was added in 1998.[9] In 2001, Dillard's relocated from the former Belk to the former Montgomery Ward.[10] As a result, the former Dillard's store was demolished in 2002 for Linens 'n Things and Best Buy.[11] Linens 'n Things closed in 2008 and TJ Maxx opened in 2010 and closed in 2021.[12][13] Burdines became Burdines-Macy's in 2003 and Macy's in 2005. Old Navy, which opened in 2000, closed in 2009.[14]

A new management team began managing the mall in 2011, and announced plans to bring new stores.[13] On January 15, 2014, JCPenney announced that they would be closing as part of a plan to close 33 stores nationwide. JCPenney ended its 24-year run as anchor on August 2, 2014.[15] On January 8, 2015, Macy's announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 14 stores nationwide. The store closed in May 2015.[16]

Washington Prime Group sold Gulf View Square Mall to Namdar Realty Group in February 2017 for $15 million.[17]

On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed March 2019.[18]
