History

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]

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

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

A new management team began managing the mall in 2011, and announced plans to bring new stores.[12] JCPenney ended its 24-year run as anchor on August 2, 2014.[14] On January 8, 2015, Macy's announced they plan to close their location in the mall sometime by May 2015.[15]
