The Brea Mall is a shopping mall located in the northern Orange County city of Brea, California. Brea is within minutes of California State University, Fullerton. It is owned and operated by the Simon Property Group, and is home to four major department stores, over 175 specialty shops and boutiques, and a food court. It is approximately 1,310,000 square feet (1.31 million).
Originally, the mall was anchored by Sears & May Company California. The Broadway was added a couple years later. After a couple more years, Nordstrom constructed their second california store. J. W. Robinson's and an all-new replacement Nordstrom (larger store) was then constructed along with a "Y" shaped addition to the main mall, in late 1980s. In 1993, May Department Stores merged J. W. Robinson's and May Company California to form the former Robinsons-May. As a result, the J. W. Robinson's store was sold to J.C. Penney, and the May Company California location was renamed Robinsons-May and later expanded. The Broadway was converted to Macy's after Federated Department Stores purchase of The Broadway's parent company Carter Hawley Hale Stores in 1996. In 2006, due to the merger between Federated Department Stores and May Department Stores, the Robinsons-May location was converted to a Macy's Furniture Store. In the 1970s it also had an ice skating rink where the food court now resides.
The Brea Mall has also been host to recording artists such as Ashlee Simpson, Mýa, Ryan Cabrera, and The Summer Obsession.
