History

Midland Park Mall opened in 1980.[2]At its grand opening, the food court had ash trays that read "Stolen from Midland Park Mall". Within 6 weeks all remaining ash trays simply said "Midland Park Mall". Due to low unemployment, Dillard's had difficulty finding sufficient employees in its first years of operation at the mall.[3] Sakowitz was an original tenant of Midland Park Mall, closing in 1982.[4] In 2003, the mall changed managers to one who had previously managed Dadeland Mall in Miami, Florida.[5]

Gap closed in 2009,[6] although Vanity and a food court tenant opened.[7] Other expansions included Charlotte Russe, Zumiez, and Ulta.[8]
