Trumbull Mall
Trumbull Mall (formerly known as Westfield Trumbull, Westfield Shoppingtown Trumbull, and Trumbull Shopping Park) is a shopping mall located in Trumbull, Connecticut. It was the first enclosed shopping mall in Connecticut upon opening in 1964. The mall was developed by the Frogue Corporation, and was the first U.S. acquisition by Australian mall operator Westfield Group in 1977. Ownership and management were transferred to the Westfield Corporation in 2014, and to Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield in 2018. It has 1,130,690 square feet (105,045 m2) of gross area. In early 2023, the mall was sold to Namdar Realty Group and Mason Asset Management. In June 2025, Namdar and Mason defaulted on a $152.3 million loan and sold management of the mall to Centennial Real Estate. The mall is anchored by Macy's, JCPenney, and Target.
Trumbull Mall was originally known as the Trumbull Shopping Park and was built in 1964 by the Frouge Corporation, with a branch of the E. J. Korvette discount department store and D.M. Read as its two original anchor stores, as well as a Waldbaum's and Woolworth's. In 1977, it was purchased by The Westfield Group and became the first US mall purchased by the Australian mall operator. The first f.y.e. store opened at the mall in 1993.
Read's was converted into Jordan Marsh, another nameplate owned by parent company Allied Stores, in 1987. The merger of Allied and Federated Department Stores resulted in Jordan Marsh being converted into Abraham & Straus in April 1992, and later Abraham & Straus being converted into Stern’s in April 1995 then Macy’s in 2001. Trumbull Shopping Park was renamed Westfield Shoppingtown Trumbull in 1998.
The mall was renamed Westfield Trumbull with the company-wide discontinuation of the "Westfield Shoppingtown" naming convention in May 2005, citing that "the name served its purpose" and that "Shoppingtown is part of [their] heritage, but Westfield is the brand." With the acquisition of The May Company by Federated in July 2005, it was announced that the Federated-owned Macy's would vacate its previous location in the former Read's building and reopen in the outgoing May-owned Filene's building; the conversion was completed in 2006. The vacant Read's anchor spot was demolished in 2007; in its place, a two-floor Target store was constructed and opened in October 2008.
In September 2008, it was announced that Steve & Barry's would be closing as part of plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed September 24, 2008.
On January 16, 2009, it was announced that Circuit City would also be closing as part of plan to close all 567 stores nationwide after failing to find a buyer.
On November 29, 2010, Westfield Trumbull unveiled results of a major $35M renovation that including several new stores, an LA Fitness in the old Circuit City space, remodeled mall entrances, and a new Dining Terrace food court to replace the old food court and the previous Steve & Barry's space.
On November 8, 2013, UNIQLO opened near Lord & Taylor. It has since been closed in 2017 and is now an Ulta Beauty, which opened in 2018.
