Anaheim Plaza, originally Anaheim Center, in Anaheim, California was Orange County, California's first shopping mall. It was a regional mall from 1954-1992 and is now a power center anchored by big-box stores. The Broadway was the original anchor department store, and later a J.W. Robinson's was added, and in the 1970s a Mervyn's. In 1972, the center's owner, Prudential Life Insurance Co., completed a $4 million renovation, including enclosing the center and renaming it Anaheim Plaza.〔(Anaheim Plaza: Mall That's Been Mauled", December 2, 1990, Los Angeles Times )〕〔("Anaheim Plaza - Once an Indoor Mall?", Orange County ''Register'' )〕 By the 1980s better-off patrons had moved out of the surrounding area for Anaheim Hills and southern Orange County and the area was becoming more working-class and Hispanic.〔 Robinson's closed in 1987. By 1992, the mall was only 35% occupied. The Broadway was closed in 1993 and the mall was bulldozed except for the Mervyn's store.〔("Orange County`s 1st Mall Faces An Overhaul", August 16, 1992, Jennifer Lowe, Knight-Ridder/Tribune )〕 A new strip mall, all new except for the Mervyn's, was opened in 1993, in size and costing $30 million.〔 Currently anchor stores include El Super, FAMSA, Forever 21 Outlet, Petco, Ross Dress for Less, Smart & Final, TJ Maxx, and Wal-Mart. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anaheim Plaza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
