Town Center at Boca Raton (also known as Town Center Mall or Boca Town Center) is an upscale super-regional shopping center in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida. It is the largest enclosed and conventional shopping mall within Palm Beach County, and second largest by square feet in South Florida, behind the Aventura Mall.
Construction on the Town Center Mall started with Florida-based department store, Burdines, followed shortly thereafter by two more anchors Sears and Jordan Marsh Florida. A T.G.I. Friday's (demolished 2005) and later an L&N Seafood Grill (now Stir Crazy) were situated adjacent to the main entrance west of Burdines.
The shopping center officially opened on August 13, 1980 featuring a New York City theme with a round black station clock, living vegetation below a series of atriums, and several distinctive wishing fountains.
A significant expansion near the end of the decade brought more shops, including three new anchors—a three story Bloomingdale's, and a Saks Fifth Avenue, that was built in the space provided when the building housing Mervyns, formerly occupied by Jordan Marsh was torn down due to extensive mold related issues. Lord & Taylor had also entered southern Palm Beach County, erecting a new store at the center court. In 2002, Lord & Taylor closed as part of their early 2000s restructuring, and was promptly demolished. In 2005, Neiman Marcus, who expressed interest in entering the area market as early as 1987, opened their newly built store on the site of the Lord & Taylor after it closed in 2002 during statewide liquidation. Also in 2005, Fridays had closed, having another nearby presence, and was demolished from the shopping center. The Cheesecake Factory opened an experimental restaurant called Grand Lux Cafe on the site, featuring a more-broad choice of international cuisine.
