Westfield Broward (previously known as the Broward Mall) is a mid-market shopping mall in Plantation, Florida. The center features 125 retail and service shops, three department stores (Dillard's, JCPenney, and Macy's), a movie theater, and a variety of casual dining venues with one vacant anchor once occupied by Sears. The mall was owned and managed by the Mills Corporation, also owner of the nearby Sawgrass Mills mall, from 2003 until Simon Property Group acquired The Mills in 2007. Simon which owns Town Center operated the mall for summer 2007, and in November 2007, Westfield officially acquired the mall and renamed it "Westfield Broward." Westfield completed a renovation in 2013, significantly alter the appearance of the food court, as well as the play areas and family lounge. More restaurants were added, and a 12-screen Regal Cinemas was built adjacent to the mall.

History
The mall opened in 1978 with Burdines, Jordan Marsh, and Sears just like Town Center at Boca Raton two years later. An expansion wing with JCPenney was also added in 1980. Jordan Marsh was husbanded in 1991 and Mervyns opened in 1992 At the time, the mall had the same anchor lineup as Town Center and the newly opened Pembroke Lakes Mall, but Town Center lacks a JCPenney. Mervyns sold its store at the mall and six others in south Florida to Dillard's in early 1997. Burdines merged with Macy's in 2003 and simply became Macy's in 2005. On April 12, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 43 stores nationwide. The store closed on July 15, 2018 and will be redeveloped by Seritage Growth Properties into shops and restaurants on the lower level with GameTime bowling and Powerhouse Gym going on the upper level, similar to Town Center's.
