History

Pembroke Lakes Mall was originally developed by Homart Development Company in 1992 as their third final property and the last regional shopping hub in Broward County. The enclosed retail complex included four anchors: 2 level Burdines, Sears, and JCPenney stores and a 1-story Mervyn's, bringing the same offering as Pompano Fashion Square (1970). While JCPenney opened within the mall on October 28 of that year (along with another at Miami International Mall), Burdines, Mervyn's, and Sears all preceded a month before on September 19, 21, and 30, respectively. ^[1]

The JCPenney and Burdines stores replaced their stores at Hollywood Fashion Center while Sears relocated from the Hollywood Mall. In August 1995, the mall added its first Dillard's store, located between Sears and the main entrance, Dillard's second in South Florida (the first was at The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale) and the mall's fourth multi-level store, making Pembroke Lakes the second mall in Broward with this initial anchor format, after Coral Square (1984) six years earlier. Only two years later, Dillard's expanded into the Mervyn's store for a second location, housing the men's and home departments, thus reconfiguring their existing store for ladies and children's clothing.

Burdines merged with Macy's in 2003 becoming simply Macy's in 2005. Shortly thereafter, in 2006, a second Macy's was added between their original location and the food court, housing men's and home departments, converting the original Burdines to women's and children. A four-story parking garage was also added next to both Macy's stores.

In 2016, GGP announced that the mall's Sears (later closing on September 15, 2019) would shrink to make room for an AMC movie theater, which opened in 2017. In Q3 2019, Round One Entertainment announced their first (and so far only) Florida location would open in the former Sears with a planned opening date of Spring 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic, construction was severely delayed. Round One officially opened to the public on June 11, 2022.^[2]
