  • Los Cerritos Mall says:

    The Sears & Broadway department store at the Los Cerritos mall, Cerritos, has a unique ownership, they are not renters, they own the pad the big box stores are located. Sears owns from the store all the way to 183rd Street, westward to the freeway. They own the entire North End of the mall.

    ……..The Broadway, AKA , Macy’s, owns the southern end of the shopping center, from Macy’s, All the Way South to South Street and over to the 605 Freeway. Both have unusual ownerships in today’s subdivision of malls.

    ……….If you remember a couple decades ago, the Lakewood Mall, Bullocks, owned the entire section and sold to Home Depot & theaters.

    ……..KMart owned the pad at Savi Ranch-Yorba Linda-Ana Hill and sold the pad to Home Depot Superstores, where many Cerritos-La Palma residents go shopping. Home Depo is mega store, well educated staffers and more like the former Home Expo.
