context_section_description: Sawgrass Mills is an outlet shopping mall operated by the Simon Property Group, in Sunrise, Florida, a city in Broward County. With 2,370,610 square feet (220,237 m²) of retail selling space, it is the eleventh largest mall in the United States, the largest single story outlet mall in the U.S., the largest shopping mall in Broward County, the second largest mall in Florida and the Miami metropolitan area after the Aventura Mall, and the third largest shopping mall in the southeastern United States. It opened in 1990 as the third mall developed by the now-defunct Mills Corporation (now part of Simon Property Group), and was located next to BB&T Center and has been expanded four times since then, most recently in 2013.  There are over 329 retail outlets and name brand discounters, with anchors including Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue, and Super Target.
  Because of its size, Sawgrass Mills is divided into three parts: the main mall with four main "Avenue" sections and a "Fashion Row" section; "The Oasis at Sawgrass Mills", an outdoor component opened in 1999 including GameWorks which is now GameRoom in 2011, then now In The Game in 2018, Regal Cinemas, IMAX, Nordstrom Rack, Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse, The Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Texas de Brazil, Yard House, and Shake Shack.  "The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills" was opened in 2006 as an upscale lifestyle area with shops and restaurants, anchored by Last Call By Neiman Marcus.  Additionally, there are numerous "outparcel" stores and plazas.
  The mall is named after saw grass, Cladium mariscus subsp. jamaicense, a very common plant in the Everglades.  The mall's west Broward location was part of the Everglades before human development, and is less than a mile from the extent of the Everglades that is still present (just beyond the nearby State Road 869).
