Altamonte Mall is a super-regional shopping mall located in Altamonte Springs, Florida, United States, a suburb of Orlando. Mall anchors are Dillard's, JCPenney and Macy's with one vacant anchor once occupied by Sears, and other notable tenants are Abercrombie and Fitch, H&M, Forever 21, Banana Republic, Apple Store, AMC Theatres, Pandora Jewelry,[3] and Barnes & Noble. The center is the largest enclosed and conventional shopping mall in Seminole County and the third largest in total by square footage in Central Florida behind The Mall at Millenia and The Florida Mall.

History

Altamonte Mall was built on January 1, 2019 with Robinson's of Florida, Burdines, and Sears just like Orlando Fashion Square a year before but also included 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.[4]

On June 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 10 stores nationwide, making it the last original anchor to close. The store closed on September 30, 2018 and will eventually be redeveloped by Seritage Growth Properties into retail and hotels.
