Pompano Citi Centre is a primarily open-air shopping mall in Pompano Beach, Florida. The center consists of a big box retailer strip, in addition to a small lifestyle center section. The mall's anchors include JCPenney, Lowe's, Macy's, Sears, Ross and PetSmart considered by Sterling, the property owner, as junior anchors. [1]
Previously, the center was an enclosed mall called Pompano Square. Originally developed by Leonard L. Farber, Inc. in 1970, Pompano Fashion Square was renamed and renovated in 1985 to better compete with newer shopping centers.[1] By the early-2000s, however, Pompano Square was a dead mall. Interest in redevelopment surfaced in 2004 when Lowe's opened, and Faison revitalized the center into its current state in 2006.
Sterling Organization purchased the mall in 2012. Since then the new owners have worked on rebranding, a new website, to bring lively events to the mall and to also to fill the mall with more tenants and exciting tenants, including PetSmart in the former Office Depot.
The old enclosed mall featured Jordan Marsh (which closed in 1991, became Mervyn's in 1992, then Dillard's in 1997, which closed in 2002 and was demolished in 2003 for what is now Lowe's, which opened in 2004 and this was likewise done at Southland Mall where the Dillard's was also demolished that same year) and Burdines (today operating as Macy's since 2005). JCPenney and Sears were retained from the old mall as JCPenney shut down its second floor for a wing of shops and Sears sold its store to Sterling on January 2, 2018 and the acquisition could give the opportunity to redevelop the store.[2]
A carousel is located in front of JCPenney as entertainment. It was added in 2012, after Sterling bought the mall.
