The mall has over 100 stores. Westland Mall has several restaurants, Fuddruckers, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse, IHOP and a food court with McDonald's, Subway, Charlys Grill Subs and more. The mall experiences about 10 to 12 thousand people daily[citation needed] from the Miami metropolitan area.
The mall, then named "Westland Mall", opened in the summer of 1971, after the mall was built to the east of the then standalone Burdines Department Store. At that time its anchors were Sears, Burdines and JCPenney. Its restaurants included a medium-sized cafeteria and a Farrell's Ice Cream parlor.[2]
In November 2007, the Westfield Group acquired the mall from the Mills Corporation and renamed it “Westfield Westland”. The name was reverted in 2012 when the mall was sold to Starwood Capital Group.[3]
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Westland Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[4] Sears downsized the first level for Forever 21 and Xfinity.
On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. The store closed in February 2020.[5]
As of 2026, the former Sears department store site was purchased by a development company who is redeveloping the former Sears. The site of the former Sears is set to be converted into a lifestyle center. The lifestyle center is set to include retail, restaurants, and housing. It is currently under development.
