Santa Rosa Mall is a shopping mall located in Mary Esther, Florida. It is anchored by Dillard's-closing 2023. It also has a 10-screen United Artists cinema outside the mall. Stirling Properties manages and owns the mall.
Jim Wilson & Associates built the mall in 1976. A wing anchored by McRae's was added in 1984; the store became Belk in 2006. [3] Gayfers, an original anchor of the mall, became Dillard's in 1998. [4] A carousel was installed in 1996.
It was sold in 1987 to California Public Employees Retirement System, sold back to Jim Wilson in 1997, and re-sold in 2003. [5]
The mall underwent structural damage after Hurricane Opal in late 1995. [6]
In 2007, the mall underwent renovations which included new flooring and the opening of new restaurants. Space was also made for a Ross Dress for Less store, although it never opened. [7] The area ultimately became a Planet Fitness in 2013. [8]
Belk announced its closure in December 2013. [9]
On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. [10]
In August 2019, the demolition of the former Belk began. [11]
On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that this location would close as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. [12] This left Dillard's as the only anchor.
On February 22, 2023, it was announced that Dillard’s Clearance Center would be closing by March 31 as part of a plan to close 3 stores nationwide. This leaves the mall without any anchor stores. [13]
