Pembroke Lakes Mall opened on October 28, 1992 with room for six anchor stores. The Dillards, J.C. Penney's, and Macy's are still here. Burdines, may you R.I.P.. Set to open in spring of 2021 is Round One Entertainment, a Japanese based amusement store chain that offers arcade games, bowling, and billiards.
This was my first visit to this mall. I loved hanging out at the mall as a teen growing up in New Jersey but the older I get the less I like mall shopping. I came to Pembroke lakes to attend the Yelp event and decided to burn some calories before dinner checking things out.
Due to Covid, certain stores seem to be limiting the number of people let in. The longest lines were at Hot Topic and the Disney Store. I was able to walk right in to Bath and Body Works. It seems ridiculous to force everyone to wait outside the store when they are crammed together in a line anyway. I might have shopped at Hot Topic for my daughter but their line lost my business. The rest of the mall was the same stores every other mall has, Victoria's Secret, Justice, The Children's Place, Build a Bear, Croc's, Tilly's, and Hallmark are just a few of the usual suspects. They did have an H&M which are pretty rare but I prefer the outlet at Sawgrass Mills Mall.
Pembroke Lakes has what you need but is not unique enough that I would be rushing back to visit again. I have a version of all of these stores closer to where I live, but this is a nice mall.
