Promenade Temecula


Promenade Temecula is a shopping mall in Temecula, California. Opened in October 1999, its anchor tenants are J. C. Penney, Macy's which occupies two anchor spots: Macy's North and Macy's South, Round One Entertainment, and Edwards Cinema.

History

Promenade Temecula opened on October 27, 1999 with 3 department stores, JCPenney, Robinsons-May, and Sears. Macy's opened in 2002 alongside a new concourse of shops. The Macy's and the additional stores took the remaining space originally set aside for an ice skating rink on the south side of the mall, which never came to fruition. In 2008, Macy's acquired the former Robinsons-May location, which on June 14 began operating as the Macy's Men's, Children, and Home store. The original location became a Macy's Women's only store.
In 2009, a number of developments helped transform the Promenade. Two new parking garages were built between the Edwards Theatres and Macy's, and between them, a row of shops called "The Shops on Promenade Drive" was added, with a new entrance through the JCPenney wing with shops and restaurants such as White House Black Market, Apple, P.F. Chang's, LOFT, MAC, Chico's, Soma Intimates, Sleep Number, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, Coach, Lululemon, Yard House, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Brighton Collectibles, Charming Charlie, The Walking Company, Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, The Studio, Wireless Plus, and Luna Grill. This section of the mall officially opened on March 26, 2009.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Promenade Temecula, into Seritage Growth Properties. Seritage has downsized Sears to the second floor only while the first floor has become Round One Entertainment.
On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. The store closed in February 2020.

Future developments

In 2016, the city of Temecula approved a "multi-million" dollar renovation project for the property. Plans are for a two-story open-air plaza to cut though the Macy's wing in the southwestern corner of the property. In addition, the plan includes construction of two new restaurants to be built in what is currently the parking lot west of Macy's south building. One of the new restaurants, The Cheesecake Factory, opened on November 20, 2018; however, no timeline has been announced for the rest of the project.
