Had a morning to kill before we picked up a cruise from fort lauderdale so our hotel recommended this mallTaxi was 6 dollars each wayAnd we had fun in Macy’s at the Levi’s dept much cheaper than uk for jeansBut plenty of other shops not busy had a coffee and a bun in Macy’s also great Hugh portions ‍♀️

It's a big shopping center and has just about everything you would need. You will find lots of familiar stores, as most of the places here are parts of chains. We bought some things we needed before we flew home.

Surprisingly busy, people were shopping! It's a big mall with what you might need. We were picking up some things for our cruise, so this was convenient. But it is nothing special.

It's a Florida shopping center with the usual big parking lot and the cold air conditioning. Some of your favorite stores. For us just a practical quick stop.

Malls used to be 80's America's place to go to shop, eat, and enjoy indoor recreation. With the rise of internet shopping the malls of America have been dying off in favor of places that can offer unique shopping experiences or live, work, and eat complexes.A mall that embodies the 80's golden age of shopping malls is The Broward Mall, a one-level 1,000,000-sq-ft shopping mall in Plantation. The mall opened in 1978 with a Burdines anchor and two years later a JC Penney's was added. In 2007 the mall was renamed Westfield and by 2013 it underwent a renovation.Today the mall has a Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, Regal Broward Stadium 12 & RPX, Buffalo Wild Wings, Brio Tuscan Grille, and The Whole Enchilada. There is also over 100 specialty stores including H&M, Victoria's Secret, ALDO, Express, G by Guess, Hollister, Pandora.I was a frequent customer of the the Broward Mall in the early 90's when I lived in the area. After I moved away I started to shopping at a mall closer to home and of course I turned to internet shopping along with most of America. Fast forward to yesterday when I saw the mall was hosting a taste of Broward event. A handful of food court restaurants along with Gatorade were offering samples in the middle of the mall. They also had a DJ, stilt walker, and scavenger hunt. It was a small event but it worked at getting me to visit the mall.My impressions after all these years was that the parking is still a mess. You have tight one way aisles which often leave you stuck behind someone waiting for a space. Everyone wants to park by Wild Wings. It looks like some construction is taking place on the outside. The Mall itself is small but bright and clean. The restrooms feel like a mile away from the rest of the mall. Stores are what you need and the H&M is nice to have and not everyone has one. Young at Art is also located in the mall after getting kicked out of their building by Broward County, It is so sad to see what a small mall space they have after once having a state of the art museum. Will I be back anytime soon? Not with Sawgrass Mill Mall down the road and the revamped former Fashion Mall about to reopen. I'm just not that big of a mall shopper. It was however nice to stroll down memory lane.
