Anchor stores include JCPenney, two Macy's stores that were formerly Burdines and Jordan Marsh, Sears and Kohl's, which opened in 2011 in a building that was previously occupied by Lord & Taylor, Mervyns, and Dillard's.
The mall underwent a major renovation in 1995, and again in late 2008.

The mall was closed for the morning then reopened later in the afternoon with heavily armed Coral Springs Police Officers.
On February 8, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 39 stores nationwide. The store will close in April 2020.[4]
