History

[edit]
Center of Altamonte Mall in its early days

Altamonte Mall opened on August, 1st 1974, with Robinson's of Florida, Burdines, and Sears—the same anchors Orlando Fashion Square had when it opened a year before—but Altamonte also had a Jordan Marsh store during its opening.

The first anchor change happened when J.W. Robinson's sold its Florida stores to Maison Blanche, which in turn then became Gayfers in 1992 when MB was bought out by Mercantile, which in turn was acquired by Dillard's in 1998.

Another original anchor, Jordan Marsh, was husbanded in 1991 because of Allied Stores as JCPenney set up shop a year later with Mervyn's taking over seven other Florida stores from Allied as a part of an $80 million bid.

Burdines merged with Macy's in 2003, and simply became Macy's in 2005.

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Altamonte Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[5]

On June 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its brick-and-mortar format. The previous Sears outpost will be developed by Seritage Growth Properties into retail and hotels.
