Macroplaza Mall

Macroplaza Mall, formerly Pasadena Town Square Mall and Plaza Paseo Mall, is a regional shopping mall located in Pasadena, Texas, southeast of Houston. When the mall opened in 1982, it originally featured Joske's, Foley's, and Palais Royal as its anchor stores.[1] Even at the time the mall was unusual in the Houston area due to the fact that it was one of only a few malls in the Houston area which were not located near a highway.[2] Joske's became Dillard's in 1987. Sears was added as the fourth anchor in 1997.[3]

In 2002, the mall was purchased from American General by a local developer.[4] Foley's converted to Macy's in 2006,[5] the same year that Dillard's closed.[6] The Macy's store closed on March 27, 2017.

In 2015 the mall was purchased by Guardian Equity, which planned to remodel the common spaces.[7] By 2016 the mall had been renamed "Plaza Paseo Mall".[8][9]

In mid-2018, the mall's name was again changed to Macroplaza Mall to allude to it being a gathering place like the plaza of the same name to the south in Monterrey, Mexico, along with emphasizing a new focus on the area's Mexican American community.

In May 2020, it was announced that Palais Royal would be closing due to the parent company filing for bankruptcy and closing all locations, unless a buyer for the chain can be found.[10] This will leave Sears as the only anchor.
