Miami International Mall

Miami International Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Doral, Florida in southwestern Metropolitan Miami, only half a mile away from the larger Dolphin Mall. The mall takes its name from the Miami International Airport nearby. It was built by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corp. and is currently managed by Simon Property Group, who owns 47.8% of it. Opened in 1982, the mall's anchors include JCPenney, 2 Macy's locations, and other tenants include 140 shops and eateries. 
== History ==
From its opening in August 1982 until 2000, the mall had indoor trees, five fountains in front of each of the anchors to throw pennies in, a children's train, and a large cascading floor level fountain in center court that was shut off and sat unused through most of the 1990s. It was later completely removed and the circular space was used for cart vendors. 
The mall's original anchors were Burdines, Jordan Marsh (both today operating as Macy's), and Sears (opened in 1983 shortly before Aventura Mall and closed in 2018). Later, Lord & Taylor (became Mervyn's, then Dillard's, and now Kohl's) and JCPenney were built in 1985 (likewise done at Boynton Beach Mall) and 1992 (as with Pembroke Lakes Mall), respectively. The addition of the latter also gave the mall the same anchor lineup as Coral Square. 
In 2000, the mall underwent a huge renovation and celebrated its "Grand re-opening" in 2001 when the nearby Dolphin Mall opened with an international theme. Not unlike Boynton Beach Mall, the renovation removed old features (the trees, fountains, etc.), and made it a more modern looking mall. 
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Miami International Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties. On August 23, 2018, Sears announced that its store at the mall would be closing as part of a plan to shut down 46 stores nationwide, making it the last original anchor to close. The store closed in November 2018. 
And on January 10, 2024, Kohl’s announced that it would close the store closed on January 13, 2024.
