Governor's Square

Governor's Square is a super-regional shopping mall located on Apalachee Parkway in Tallahassee, Florida. Its two-level design was a first for northern Florida when it opened in 1979, and was for many years the newest of two enclosed malls in the Tallahassee area, the other being The Centre of Tallahassee, formerly the Tallahassee Mall. The anchor stores are currently JCPenney and Dillard's along with two vacant spaces last occupied by Macy’s and Sears.

Built into a hillside, the mall can be entered either on the first or second level, depending on where a particular entrance is located. The mall's original anchors stores were J. C. Penney, Sears, and Maas Brothers. Maas Brothers was converted to Burdines in 1991. In March 2005, the Burdines store was converted to a Macy's.

A 1993 expansion included an additional wing as well as Dillard's becoming the fourth anchor.

In 2015 the Governor's Square Mall received a $10 million interior and exterior renovation.

On December 28, 2018, Sears announced that it would be closing its Governor's Square anchor store as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the vacant store served as a Florida Department of Health monoclonal antibody treatment site.

On January 18, 2024, it was announced that Macy's would be closing as part of a plan to close 5 stores nationwide. The store closed permanently on March 26, 2024 and left the mall with JCPenney and Dillard's as the only remaining anchors.



The mall lies within a relatively affluent trade area less than two miles (3 km) east of downtown.
