Brookfield Square is a regional shopping mall located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee.

Its anchor store is a JCPenney with two vacant anchors last occupied by Boston Store and Sears.
History
Brookfield Square was built in 1967 as a three-anchor, one-story shopping mall with 60 stores and services, including the two same anchors it has today, plus a Sears, a Kohl's Food Store, a Woolworth's, T. A. Chapman's, and Walgreens. Kohl's left the mall in 1977 and its space was converted into a Houlihan's restaurant. Woolworth's and the mall's single screen cinema left the mall in 1994 and a food court was created in its place.
The mall went under a renovation in 2004, creating new outparcel stores and restaurants. The mall's interior was given a new style, and new restaurants were built on the exterior walls of the mall.
In November 2013, an expansion was proposed for nine more storefronts.[1] Old Navy and Hallmark Cards both closed in early 2014.[2] Also in 2014, Shoe Carnival was added in the Sears wing.[3] The Sears anchor was closed temporarily in September 2014 because of structural concerns over its roof and closed permanently in mid-March 2018 as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide.[4][5][6] Boston Store closed in August 2018, This left JCPenney as the only anchor until Fall 2019 when the former Sears space is replaced by a BistroPlex and Whirlyball entertainment center.[7]
