History

Altamonte Mall was built on August 1, 1974 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 with JCPenney taking over the store a year later and Mervyns took an $80 million bid to take over seven other Florida stores from Allied.

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

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 will close on September 30, 2018 and will eventually be redeveloped by Seritage Growth Properties into retail and hotels.
