Arundel Mills is a shopping mall located in unincorporated Anne Arundel County, Maryland (with a Hanover mailing address). It is 59.3% owned by Simon Property Group, who manages the mall. With its 1,930,820 sq ft (179,379 m2) GLA, it is the largest mall in the state of Maryland. Developed by The Mills Corporation, the mall is located at the intersection of Maryland Route 100 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (Maryland Route 295) in northwestern Anne Arundel County (hence the name "Arundel" Mills). The anchor stores are Cinemark Theatres, Books-A-Million, The Children's Place, TJ Maxx, Burlington, Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse, Best Buy, Old Navy, Bass Pro Shops, Saks Fifth Avenue, Ulta Beauty, Dave & Buster's, and Yard House with two vacant anchors last occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond and Modell's Sporting Goods.
Arundel Mills opened in November 2000 and, as of July 21, 2007, had over 225 stores.[1] It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times dinner theater.[2] In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills features a Dave & Buster's, the Live! Casino & Hotel, and an Egyptian-themed 24-screen megaplex theater. The cinema was the only outlet of its Muvico Theaters chain in the state of Maryland before being sold to Cinemark in March 2009.[3]
The mall's interior layout features a "racetrack" design and, more noticeably, the outline of a boat. Mall sponsors are Coca-Cola, Comcast, and Discover Card.[citation needed] It was formerly sponsored by The Baltimore Sun and Toyota.[citation needed]
Anchor and department stores
As of January 2021, the mall's anchor and department stores include Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Best Buy, Books-A-Million, Burlington Coat Factory, The Children's Place, Cinemark Egyptian 24 Theatres, Dave & Buster's, Forever 21, H&M, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, Modell's Sporting Goods, OFF 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, T.J. Maxx, and Ulta Beauty.
Live! Casino & Hotel
After Maryland voters approved slot machine gambling in Maryland in 2008, The Cordish Company planned a slots parlor next to the mall. The proposal for slots at Arundel Mills was on the ballot as a referendum in the November 2010 elections; the referendum passed, and construction began on the casino shortly afterward, with the grand opening of its first phase held on June 6, 2012.[4] Since full completion in September 2012, Live! Casino & Hotel has about 380,000 sq. ft. of floor space and 4,750 gaming slots.[5] Live! Casino & Hotel is a free-standing facility, separated from Arundel Mills by the inner mall ring road.[6] Although not directly connected to the mall, the casino is within walking distance of the food court entrance. Live! Casino & Hotel includes a 5,000-space parking structure at Arundel Mills with a "smart park" green-and-red-light space availability feature, such as the system used at nearby BWI Airport.[6] Parking is available free of charge during all mall hours for Arundel Mills shoppers.[6]
Live! Casino & Hotel includes several dining options, including Bobby's Burger Palace;[7] The Cheesecake Factory;[7] and a Prime Rib steakhouse. The project was to feature an Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant, though the restaurant announced in November 2011 that it would not be opening a location there. Instead, Phillips Seafood opened a location at the site.[8] Live! Casino & Hotel has a live music venue, operated by Annapolis-based Rams Head,[7] which includes fixed seating for approximately 300 in a cabaret-style design with several stepped viewing levels of the stage.[7]
In 2019, The Hall! At Live! A concert venue officially opened up.
Inside the Hotel sits a new restaurant, Spa, Salon, and gift shop as well as meeting rooms open to the public. Anne Arundel Community College holds their annual graduation at Live!
