History

Taubman Centers built the Marley Station mall in 1987.^[2] At the time, it included two anchor stores: Hecht's and Macy's. Taubman expanded the mall in 1993 with a third anchor, J.C. Penney, which was the most-requested store among mall patrons at the time.^[3]

Sears was added in 1996 as a fourth anchor. This store replaced an existing Sears in Glen Burnie which was built in the 1960s.^[4]

Taubman sold the mall to Mills Corporation, now part of Simon Property Group, in 2004.^[5]

In 2006, Macy's relocated to the Hecht's building when Macy's parent company bought that of Hecht's,^[6] and sold its original location to Boscov's.^[7] Boscov's operated out of the former Macy's for only two years, closing the store in 2008 as part of the chain's bankruptcy proceedings.^[8]
