The Centre at Glen Burnie is a partially enclosed shopping mall located in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It is owned by Petrie Ventures and managed by Jones Lang LaSalle.
History
The center opened in 1963 as the Glen Burnie Mall, the third shopping mall developed by Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr..[2] At the time of its opening it had Montgomery Ward as an anchor as well as an A&P grocery store, a G.C. Murphy variety store and a single-screen movie theater. The mall's second anchor, a Topps Discount City (a division of Interstate Department Stores) was dedicated in March 1969. This store was shuttered in late 1974. Toys "R" Us (another Interstate division) opened a store in the Topps space, as did Baltimore-based Epstein's department store.[2] Today that space is occupied by Toys "R" Us, Office Depot, and hhgregg.
A fire damaged the north end of the mall on October 24, 1981. The center, except for Montgomery Ward, was closed while renovations could be completed. The shopping center re-opened in November 1982.[2]
Montgomery Ward went out of business in 2000. In 2002, the mall was sold to Petrie Ventures, which announced plans to tear down the vacant Wards store and built a new Target discount store.[3] The mall also underwent extensive renovations that added outward-facing retail bays. In 2005, the mall was renamed the Centre at Glen Burnie. In 2012, Jones Lang LaSalle was named leasing agent and manager of the center.[4]
