The Connecticut Post Mall (previously named the Connecticut Post Shopping Center and Westfield Connecticut Post) is a three-story shopping mall, located on the Boston Post Road (Route 1) in Milford, Connecticut. It is currently the largest mall in the state of Connecticut and is partially owned and operated by Centennial Properties. The mall currently houses over 215 retail stores. The anchor stores are Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's, Sears, and Target. The mall also features a 14 screen Cinemark (formerly Rave Cinemas), including an IMAX theater.
The original, open-air mall was built by Sol Atlas and opened in 1960, anchored by a W. & J. Sloane furniture store and a Stop & Shop supermarket at opposite ends. In 1962, the sixth branch of the Alexander's department store chain opened. Following an early fire at the west end of the mall, a Caldor discount store was built as the new anchor.
In 1981, the mall was enclosed. The mall underwent a renovation in 1990 which added the Skyview Cafe food court, and lost anchor Alexander's.
The Mall strongly opposed the proposed rival New Haven Galleria mall at Long Wharf, filing over 15 lawsuits.
A $118 million 480,000-square-foot (45,000 m2) expansion project took place in 2005–06, adding:
In December 2015, Westfield sold Connecticut Post in a $1.1 billon deal involving 5 malls.
On March 17, 2017, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing their store as part of the company closing 138 stores nationwide. The store closed on July 31, 2017.
