Security Square Mall is a large mall in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The mall features over 100 stores and restaurants, as well as a food court, with Burlington Coat Factory, Macy's, Old Navy and Sears serving as anchor stores. One section of the mall, Seoul Plaza (formerly JCPenney), previously included Korean shops and restaurants, however most of these establishments had closed by 2010.Modell's Sporting Goods at Security closed down in late 2008 and now is a USA Discounters store. The Security Square Mall is located adjacent to the North American School Of Trades.
Security Square Mall opened in 1972. Original anchor Hochschild Kohn's sold its store to Hutzler's, who closed the store in 1989, and subsequently sold it to Montgomery Ward. Woolworth closed in 1997 and was replaced with Burlington Coat Factory. Montgomery Ward closed in 2001 and became Modell's Sporting Goods three years later.
J.C. Penney closed its store at Security Square in 2001 due to declining sales. Two years later, the two-story J.C. Penney space was converted to Seoul Plaza, a "mall within a mall" consisting of several Korean shops and restaurants, as well as a Grand Mart supermarket. The Grand Mart closed in May 2008. Modell's closed in mid-2008. In 2005, home goods retailer Anna's Linens opened its first Maryland store at Security Square. One year later, Hecht's was converted to Macy's.
Privately held realty company Capital Investment Associates purchased Security Square Mall in 1997 and hired Hicks & Rotner Retail, Inc. to manage leasing. The next year, as part of its plan to revitalize, and make an upscale shift in the mall, the new management team signed eight new retailers. It also redesigned other parts of the mall including the food court, restrooms, and landscaping.
