Boynton Beach Mall

I will give it 5 stars because no matter what, this mall was the happening place for YEARS! I used to shop here all the time as a teenager in the early 90s and also come here when my daughters were little in the early 2000s. It makes me sad to see how it is now 😢. I really hope it becomes what it was all those years. I have many fond memories of this mall dating back from my teenage years through my adult years! I used to shop at the Motherhood store they had back in 2001 and 2002. I used to go to the food court all the time as a teenager and when my girls were little and teenagers!! This mall can become what it once was. It was always packed with people!! I will always love this mall because of all the great memories it brings me. I wish the owner luck and success in restoring it to what it once was. Don't get me wrong, you can still go and do some shopping. You can still go to eat here. It's just that many stores have closed and it's not how it used to be. It certainly has potential because it is still a beautiful mall. It just needs some TLC.

The Boynton Beach Mall opened in October 1985. Retail big wigs Burdines, JC Penney, Jordan Marsh and Lord & Taylor drew people in. As they faded out Macy's, Mervyn's, and Sears would go on to open anchor stores. Fast forward a few decades and the American mall is dying. In 30 years only minor repairs have been done to the mall. In the past few years, the Disney store, Dairy Queen, Mrs. Fields, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Bucca Di Beppo, Toojay's, Littman's Jewelers, and Sears, have all closed or relocated. In 2014 Christ Fellowship moved in. Higher income areas like Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington and Boca are attracting the shoppers away from Boynton Beach. Outlet malls like Palm Beach Outlets and Sawgrass Mills Mall are popular with shoppers looking to save money. I normally prefer to shop online but my daughter needed some back to school clothes so we headed out to her favorite store Hot Topic. I usually hate shopping there but the staff was friendly and the store was neat and organized. We ended up having a pleasant shopping experience. What is the future of the Boynton Beach mall? With 18 empty stores in 2018 they need to figure it out quickly. Trends have shown that shoppers gravitate towards a shopping destination. They want entertainment, stores, and food in one area. Right now some people are wary of visiting the Boynton Beach Mall because they don't feel it is safe. Future plans could see the mall evolve into a multi purpose building with offices, restaurants and retailers. Time will tell tell if Boynton Beach Mall can survive our online shopping preferences.

Mall is getting worse day by day. Management is doing nothing to revive it. Now major food brands like taco bell and poeyes are gone. Worst security system. Children are cycling inside and no security is there to ask them to go outside. The main problem is Management here. I think the manager is just waiting for the buyer to come and buy the place. The Management is making it worse.

This mall is a shadow of what it used to be a long time ago when it had alot good stores and was nice to shop att. Now it is almost completely empty and waiting for the day the bulldozers come and flatten it and make the land into something else. It's very Sad for telling this because I was one those people that used to like to shop there but not anymore because most the stores are gone.

I just find it absolutely absurd for a mall to open up at 11 AM on a Saturday. What is the purpose then to have the same hours of availability on the weekday as well pretty much(only by an hour) however most people on the weekend would think like other malls are open before 11 AM in order to accommodate the people who work during the weekday and can’t make it because of the hours only to still not be able to enjoy the mall on the weekend because the hours are pretty much the same Not open until 11 is why this mall would not ever be great or as prosperous This limits the possibility of financial income if they have better hours and also more stores that will draw people in even when the mall is open several of the stores inside are closed most malls don’t allow this as if the mall is open the shop must be open unless there Extreme issue/religion that is part of most malls policy. When you rent a store within the malls, you must open up the same time the mall opens in order to have the mall be successful and instead you will go in there. They open up at 11 and a lot of the stores still are not open for business to the public or they are getting there at the same time you are and just opening up makes absolutely no sense

My most notable memory of this place was a Christmas Eve gang shoot out in front of Macy's. It was the talk of the community, because the mall was such bustling place. I just went there a week ago; bustling is not the word I would use anymore. Its a ghost town.

It’s really a shame the mall has so much potential and sits on a really good location. But it’s dilapidated and decrepit. The floors are filthy, the landscaping lacks basic care, many stores are closed, the food court doesn’t even have a lot chairs to sit on, the bathrooms are nasty…
