History
Developed by Edward J. DeBartolo and Homart, Lakeland Square Mall opened in 1988. When it first opened, the mall featured anchor stores such as Mervyn's, Sears, and Belk, followed shortly by the addition of Maison Blanche. In 1990, J. C. Penney joined the mall, and in 1994, Burdines also became part of the lineup, relocating from downtown Lakeland.[3] Dillard's
