Centre at Glen Burnie

Centre at Glen Burnie, formerly Glen Burnie Mall was a one-level shopping mall 11.5 miles (18.5 km) southeast of downtown Baltimore, Maryland, between East Ordnance Road, Chesapeake Center Drive, Holsum Way and Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie, a suburb of Baltimore. It currently has three open anchors which are Burlington Coat Factory, Ollie's Bargain Outlet and Target.
== Enclosed Mall ==
Glen Burnie Mall opened to the public on February 13, 1963 with one anchor tenant which was a two-level Montgomery Ward. Other original tenants included A&P and G.C. Murphy. In March 1969, a second anchor was added to the mall which was a Topps Discount City. In September 1974, Topps Discount City closed and was quickly replaced by Toys R Us. In July 1981, a major facelift occurred at the Glen Burnie Mall, the project would install a new roof, new skylights, decorative lamp posts, quarry tile flooring and several ficus trees, the parking lot area also got repaved. The remodel was finished by November 1981 and included 42 stores and services such as Chess King, Foxmoor Casuals, Record Bar, Revco and Zales Jewelers. In March 1983, the Toys R Us store was downsized to make room for a third anchor which was Epstein's.
== Decline ==
After the opening of Marley Station Mall in 1987, decline began to hit the Glen Burnie Mall. In January 1991, Epstein's closed down, but was replaced with Best Buy in 1994. In 1994, G.C. Murphy closed, the space was then demolished and replaced with Dick's Sporting Goods in 1995. Another renovation to the mall occurred in November 1995 as an attempt to compete with Marley Station Mall. In March 2001, Montgomery Ward closed down, the space was then used as a Sticks 'n Stuff furniture until 2003. In August 2002, the mall was acquired by Petrie Ross Ventures. In May 2004, the mall changed its name from Glen Burnie Mall to the Centre at Glen Burnie, resulting in the former Montgomery Ward getting demolished and replaced with 13 inline stores. In October 2004, the former A&P was demolished and a Target store opened on the site.
