Florence Mall (Alabama)

Florence Mall is an enclosed regional shopping mall northeast of downtown Florence, Alabama. Owned by Hull Property Group, it was renamed from Regency Square Mall in late 2013 as part of a mall wide renovation.[1] The anchor stores comprise two Belk locations (one converted from Parisian, the other from Pizitz and McRae's), Dillard's (formerly Castner Knott), and JCPenney. Sears closed in 2017.
