History

Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation first proposed Gulf View Square in 1974. At the time, its anchor stores were slated to be Sears, Maas Brothers, Belk-Lindsey, and Robinson's of Florida.[2] The mall opened in March 1980 with Belk-Lindsey and Montgomery Ward as its anchor stores.[3] Maas Brothers opened in August 1981,[4] with Sears following in July 1982.[5]

J. C. Penney opened on the fifth anchor slot, which was originally planned for Burdines, in 1990.[6] Burdines ultimately entered the mall by taking the Maas Brothers store a year later.

Dillard's bought the Belk-Lindsey store in 1992.[7] A food court was added in 1998.[8] In 2001, Dillard's relocated from the former Belk to the former Montgomery Ward.[9] As a result, the former Dillard's store was demolished in 2002 for Linens 'n Things and Best Buy.[10] Linens 'n Things closed in 2008 and TJ Maxx opened in 2010.[11][12] Burdines became Burdines-Macy's in 2003 and Macy's in 2005. Old Navy, which opened in 2000, closed in 2009.[13]

A new management team began managing the mall in 2011, and announced plans to bring new stores.[12] On January 15, 2014, JCPenney announced that they would be closing as part of a plan to close 33 stores nationwide. JCPenney ended its 24-year run as anchor on August 2, 2014.[14] On January 8, 2015, Macy's announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 14 stores nationwide. The store closed in May 2015.[15]

Washington Prime Group sold Gulf View Square Mall to Namdar Realty Group in February 2017 for $15 million.[16]

On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed March 2019.[17]

gollark: Ah, but it has to be bootable *by UEFI/MBR*, that's the hard bit.
gollark: Yes, a valid picture-y image file which can also be booted from.
gollark: You could make a *zip* file which is both bootable and extractable, but that's because of a weird zip quirk.
gollark: Evil idea: somehow make a valid image file you can also boot from if you `dd` it straight to a disk.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free componentof a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shellutilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNUwhich is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users arenot aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just apart of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the systemthat allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux isnormally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole systemis basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
