Glenbrook Square is located at 4201 Coldwater Road, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Built in 1966 by Chicago-based Landau & Heyman and originally known as Glenbrook Center, Glenbrook Square has been owned and managed by General Growth Properties (GGP) since 2003 when the cross-town Chicago rival acquired all of Landau & Heyman's remaining malls. Since the mall's opening in 1966, Glenbrook has been expanded and/or renovated five times. These expansions and renovations occurred in 1976, 1981, 1990, 1994, and 1998; with the 1976, 1981, and 1998 renovations also being major expansions. Glenbrook Square annually receives over 15 million visitors,〔(Glenbrook Square Mall Info ). Retrieved 2008-04-20.〕 and is the only enclosed super-regional mall in northeast Indiana. Based on leasable square feet, Glenbrook Square is also one of the three largest malls in the state of Indiana along with Castleton Square in Indianapolis and Southlake Mall in Merrillville. 〔http://www.costar.com/News/Article/Westfield-Sells-Seven-More-Malls-to-Starwood-Capital-for-$16B/152467〕 In total, Glenbrook Square has a gross leasable area of .〔(General Growth Properties Mall Directory ). Retrieved 2008-04-20.〕 Glenbrook Square features five anchors: Barnes & Noble, Carson's, JCPenney, Macy's and Sears. Macy's (originally L.S. Ayres) and Sears are Glenbrook Square's two original anchors, in continuous operation since the mall's opening. The buildings for JCPenney and Carson's were added in the 1976 and 1981 expansions, respectively, while the Barnes & Noble store was converted in 2007 from several smaller stores. In addition to five anchors, Glenbrook Square contains 152 stores and kiosks, along with twelve restaurants. Hudson's, and later Marshall Field's, operated a store at Glenbrook Square in the space currently occupied by Carson's from 1981 until May 2005 (shortly before the Federated Department Stores/May Co. merger). Macy's, Inc., the successor company to both Federated and May, continued to own the former Marshall Field's store until December 12, 2007, when Macy's sold the vacant store back to GGP for $1 million. Between GGP's acquisition of the space from Macy's and the search for a new anchor, the former Marshall Field's space was used in several ways. These included temporary retailers such as Glowgolf, a fashion show sponsored by local Christian radio station WLAB Star 88.3,〔http://star883.com/news/post/modest-is-hottest〕 and a Habitat for Humanity gift-wrapping station and display of Department 56 houses that operated during several holiday seasons.〔http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/insight/Habitat-For-Humanity--Holiday-Houses-Display-at-Glenbrook-Square-179986831.html〕 On December 12, 2012, GGP announced that Carson's would anchor the long-vacant space starting in the fall of 2013.〔http://www.wane.com/dpp/news/business/carsons-to-move-into-former-marshall-fields-space〕 Carson's began construction in January 2013 and opened to the public on September 10 of that year after over $1.6 million in renovations to the space.〔http://www.fortwayne.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130908/BIZ/320117087/1017/TOPBIZ〕 The holiday Habitat for Humanity display continued for one more season at a new location in the mall in the Carson's wing. A water main break occurred at Glenbrook Square on October 31, 2013 during overnight hours.〔http://www.wane.com/news/local/water-main-break-causes-damage-at-glenbrook-square〕 50 stores were damaged in the incident,〔http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/Mall-Officials-50-Stores-Damaged-From-Water-Main-Break-at-Glenbrook-Square--231196461.html〕 but all five anchor stores (Barnes & Noble, Carson's, Macy's, JCPenney, Sears) were unaffected. Most affected stores were repaired and reopened within weeks, and all damaged stores except Express (which reopened the following week) reopened by Black Friday 2013.〔http://www.glenbrooksquare.com/events/water-main-break〕 Like many GGP malls, Glenbrook Square has a partnership with Habitat for Humanity.〔http://www.glenbrooksquare.com/visit/programs〕 The mall provides used building materials to the group, and donates all change placed in the fountain in front of JCPenney to charities including Habitat and The Rescue Mission, the latter being a local Fort Wayne group focused on helping the homeless. ==Anchors== *Barnes & Noble (opened 2007) 26,869 square feet on one level *Carson's (opened 1981 as Hudson's, converted to Marshall Field's in 1997, closed 2005; renovated and reopened as Carson's in 2013) 122,000 square feet on two levels *JCPenney (opened 1976) 191,617 square feet on two levels *Macy's (opened as L.S.
