History

The first plan for Paddock Mall was made in 1973 by local developers, who sold the land to Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation.[2] DeBartolo and Arlen Realty and Development Corporation opened Paddock Mall in 1980. Original anchors included Maas Brothers, Belk-Lindsey, and J. C. Penney.[3][4]

A 1991 expansion added Sears as a fourth anchor; the same year, the Maas Brothers store was sold to Burdines.[5] In 1997, a food court was added on the south end.[6] Burdines became Burdines-Macy's in 2003 and Macy's in 2005.

Washington Prime Group, based in Columbus, Ohio acquired the mall along with Boynton Beach Mall, Edison Mall, Melbourne Square, Seminole Towne Center, and Melbourne Square as part of its merger with Glimcher Properties in 2014.[7]

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Paddock Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[8]

On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide.[9]
