In late 2007, the mall took the unusual step of requiring all high-school aged and younger youths to leave the property by 9pm. The drawing power of the Mall has attracted the attention of other retail builders. Plaza By The Mall has been built on an adjoining property attempting to cash in on some of the recognition. In May 2013, CBL & Associates Properties sold the mall to BVB Properties. On November 2, 2017, Sears Holdings announced that Kmart would be closing as part of a plan to close 63 Sears and Kmarts nationwide. Kmart closed on January 28, 2018. On August 6, 2019 Sears announced that its store would be closing this location as part of a plan to close 26 stores nationwide. The store closed in October 2019. On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that this location would close as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide, leaving Belk and Bealls as the only anchor stores in the mall. There is also a Planet Fitness and a smoothie vendor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the former JCPenney location became a site for Coronavirus vaccine distribution. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis visited the site in March 2021 but the site has since closed. References
