History

Altamonte Mall was built on January 1, 1974, with Robinson's of Florida, Burdines, and Sears just like Orlando Fashion Square a year before but also included a Jordan Marsh store during its opening.
The first anchor change happened when J.W. Robinson's sold its Florida stores to Maison Blanche, which in turn then became Gayfers in 1992 when MB was bought out by Mercantile, which in turn was acquired by Dillard's in 1998.
Another original anchor, Jordan Marsh, was husbanded in 1991 because of Allied Stores as JCPenney set up shop a year later with Mervyn's taking over seven other Florida stores from Allied as a part of an $80 million bid.
Burdines merged with Macy's in 2003 and simply became Macy's in 2005.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Altamonte Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.
On June 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 10 stores nationwide, making it the last original anchor to close. The store closed on September 30, 2018, and will eventually be redeveloped by Seritage Growth Properties into retail and hotels.

Current Anchors

The fourth anchor was Sears which closed on September 30, 2018
