Superstition Springs Center is a shopping mall located in Mesa, Arizona. It is owned by Macerich, a subsidiary of The Macerich Company. The mall features an outdoor amphitheatre and a fountain that converts into a stage featuring free concerts from May to August on Saturday evenings.

The anchors at the mall are Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears. The mall also features an 8 screen Super Saver Cinema, a T.J.Maxx, and a new freestanding Cheesecake Factory. In 2010, the former Mervyns became a furniture store called Home Sleep Home,[2] which went out of business and was replaced with a miniature golf course called Lunar Mini Golf.[3]

History

Superstition Springs Center was built and completed in 1990, and was jointly developed and owned by Westcor and General Growth Properties. When it first opened, most of the area surrounding the mall was open fields. At the time, it rested at the end of a freeway (U.S. Route 60), and was considered too far away from developed areas to be successful. However, since its opening, the area around Superstition Springs Center has seen significant growth; as of 2009, it held an estimated population of 337,000 in its primary trade area.[4][5]

In February 2002, the mall underwent remodeling to include exterior paint and lighting, interior paint, flooring, and lighting to create a new refined atmosphere with color, texture and regional imagery. Originally owned by Westcor, in 2002 Superstition Springs Center became part of The Macerich Company’s portfolio.

In June 2011, General Growth Properties sold its 1/3 stake ownership in the mall (along with its 1/3 ownership of Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale), with Westcor assuming full ownership. The Macys location was to be Broadway Southwest ( The last store built by then owner Carter Hawley Hall ) This location was halted during a hostile take over attempt by the Limited and sold off to Robinson May.
