Arizona Mills is an outletshopping mall inTempe, Arizona within thePhoenix metropolitan area. It is a tourist destination inPhoenix, Arizona built by theMills Corporation (which owned 25%) andTaubman Centers. Taubman has since sold its 75% stake toSimon Property Group, which had already purchased the Mills Corporation in 2007.[3][4] Arizona Mills opened on November 20, 1997, with 6,000 parking spaces and approximately 200 retailers.[5][6] The mall is divided into six "neighborhoods", areas of the mall with their own distinct architectural styles and design, with the intention of helping shoppers identify where they are in the mall.[7] The mall is anchored byOld Navy, Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse,American Freight,Forever 21,Harkins Theatres,H&M,IMAX,Legoland Discovery Center,Rainforest Cafe,Sea Life Aquarium,Tilt Studio,Ross Dress for Less, DD's Discounts,Marshalls, Camille La Vie, andBurlington Coat Factory and 1 vacant anchor that was once Conn's.[8][9] It is located on the Southeast corner ofUS 60 andI-10.[6]
Despite the term 'Mills' in its name, it is not nearby, or affiliated withMill Avenue, a shopping and entertainment district nearHayden Butte to the north. The name is that of the property developer, the Mills Corporation.
Like other Mills Centers, Arizona Mills has abstract graphics at the entrances and throughout the mall. Numerous artworks are also displayed from the people of Arizona.
In June 2008, the mall's website was changed from its Mills Corporation format to the Simon Malls format along with 16 other sister Simon-Mills malls. It was the last Simon-Mills mall to make the switch. It is one of three malls Simon owns in Arizona, with Phoenix Premium Outlets inChandler and Tucson Premium outlets as the others.[10] It is the third mall Simon owned in Arizona, previously having owned Southgate Mall inYuma, Arizona, andMetrocenter Mall inPhoenix, Arizona later acquired by Carlyle Development Group.
In 2024, Conn's announced they would close their Arizona Mills location due to bankruptcy.
