Coral Square is a regional enclosed shopping mall in Coral Springs, Florida. Anchors include 2 Macy's locations (formerly Burdines and Jordan Marsh), JCPenney, and Kohl's (formerly Lord & Taylor, then Mervyn's, then Dillard's), just like Miami International Mall, along with 120 shops and eateries. Simon Property Group, who owns 97.2% of it, also manages the mall.

History[]

The mall opened on October 3, 1984, as the second major shopping mall in western Broward County (after Broward Mall), featuring Burdines, Lord & Taylor, and JCPenney, followed by Jordan Marsh the following year, with a fifth anchor tenant yet to be determined. The mall is almost identical to Boynton Beach Mall, in which they opened in that same year. The opening of Lord & Taylor was also likewise done at Miami International Mall as well. In 1989, a new Sears location opened at the northeast side of the complex on the fifth anchor pad. This brought the store count at the mall up to over 120 stores and the amount of anchor stores to five. No other mall in Broward had five anchors at the time except for The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale.

Store consolidations and acquisitions have varied the anchor line-up over the years. First, in 1991, Lord & Taylor was converted to Mervyn's and Jordan Marsh was rebranded as a Burdines men's, children's, and home store. With the opening of Pembroke Lakes Mall in 1992, the mall now had the same anchor lineup as Miami International Mall and was first renovated in 1995, but has never been expanded aside from the additions of Jordan Marsh and Sears. Mervyn's withdrew from Florida in 1997, thus the store transitioned into Dillard's (which had its only area stores at Galleria and Pembroke Lakes at that time, followed by The Mall at Wellington Green in 2001). Then, Burdines merged with Macy's in 2003, so the two stores at the mall simply rebranded as Macy's in 2005. The mall also got another renovation in late 2008. As with Miami International Mall, a Kohl's store opened in the Dillard's building on September 28, 2011. In many of these aspects, the mall developed a similar fashion to Boynton Beach and Miami International malls.

On November 26, 2016, a shop owner shot and wounded an employee, then turned the gun on himself and killed himself.[3] Coral Springs Fire Department took the wounded to a nearby hospital, where they were expected to be ok. The mall was closed for the morning then reopened later in the afternoon with heavily armed Coral Springs Police Officers.

On February 8, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 39 stores nationwide. The store closed in April 2020.[4] A contract with Round 1 Entertainment is pending as well, as with Pembroke Lakes Mall. [5]
