Coral Square

The mall also has 117 shops and eateries, and 
Today, the mall is anchored by JCPenney, Kohl's, and two Macy's stores, as with Miami International Mall. 
== History ==
The mall opened on October 3, 1984 with Burdines, JCPenney, Jordan Marsh, and Lord & Taylor. In 1989, Sears filled the fifth anchor pad at the northeast side. Two years later, Lord & Taylor was first sold to Mervyns, then transitioned to Dillard's in 1997, and finally Kohl's in 2011. Jordan Marsh was replaced by Burdines men, children and home also in 1991; both stores became Burdines-Macy's in 2004 and Macy's in 2005.
The mall underwent a major renovation in 1995, and again in late 2008 and 2023.
On November 26, 2016 a shop owner shot and wounded an employee, then turned the gun on himself and killed himself. Coral Springs Fire Department took the wounded to a nearby hospital, where they were expected to be ok. 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 closed in April 2020.
