La galería Glendale es un gran centro comercial localizado en The Glendale Galleria is a large three-story regional shopping mall located in downtown Glendale, California, USA. Es el tercer centro comercial más grande en Los Angeles County después de Westfield Topanga y Del Amo Fashion Center.

Historia[editar]

Developed by Glendale Associates, a partnership between J.S. Griffiths Co, Broadway Hale Stores and M.J. Brock & Sons,[2]​ the mall opened on October 14, 1976.[1][3]​ The architect was Jon Jerde,[4]​ who credited his design to a Ray Bradbury essay on reviving retail districts.[5][6]

It was the location for the first Panda Express restaurant that opened in 1983. Panda Express is located in Glendale Galleria II on level 3 near Bloomingdale's. Another Panda Express is located in the Glendale Galleria food court. By 1990, the mall was 1 600 000 pies cuadrados (14 864 480 dm²) in size, and had annual revenues of $350 million.[7]

The first Disney Store opened in the Glendale Galleria on March 28, 1987.

This mall also includes the first three-story Target in the United States. It was also selected by Apple Inc. as the location of one of the first two Apple Stores in the world (along with Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia); both officially opened on May 19, 2001.[8]

Anchors[editar]

The mall is anchored by four department stores (with one under construction) and has over 200 specialty stores.

  • JCPenney (opened in 1976)
  • Macy's (opened as The Broadway in 1976; became Macy's in 1996)
  • Target (opened as Buffum's in 1976; closed in 1991; became Robinson's-May in 1993; closed in 2006; became Target in 2007)
  • Bloomingdale's (opened November 2013; former Mervyn's space)[9]
  • Dick's Sporting Goods (opening fall 2015, 75,000 sq. ft.). Opening in part of former Nordstrom space.[10]
  • Zara (opening 2015, 35,000 sq. ft.) Store opening on the upper level of the former Ohrbach's building. All tenants formerly located in the wing have been relocated to other parts of the Galleria.[11]

Ohrbach's was also an original anchor. Its former location was demolished and the area was converted to another wing of the mall with smaller stores. Nordstrom originally opened in 1983 and was formerly located in the Galleria before relocating next door to the Americana at Brand in 2013.[12]
