Mershops Antelope Valley Mall is a single-level, regional enclosed shopping mall in Palmdale, California, United States, in the Antelope Valley. It is managed by Spinoso Real Estate Group and owned by Mershops.
The mall currently has about 140 stores, with four anchor stores: Macy's, JCPenney, Dillard's, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. There is one vacant anchor, Sears, and one anchor under renovation, a former Forever 21, which is set to reopen as Round 1 in 2026. Old Navy, H&M, and SkyZone are junior anchors. Three other anchors, Bullock's, The Broadway, and J. W. Robinson's, were planned, but never built.
History
Construction of the $75 million, 750,000-square-foot, Antelope Valley Mall, developed by Forest City Enterprises, began in May 1989, and the mall opened on September 24, 1990. There were originally four anchor stores - JCPenney (which opened before the mall on August 30, 1990), Sears, Harris and Gottschalks. Before the mall had even opened, the developers announced a planned expansion, that would have doubled the mall's size to 1.5 million square feet and added four more anchors. The new wing began construction in 1992, but on a smaller scale, with only two more anchors eventually added. Mervyn's opened that same year, and the first Dillard's in Southern California opened in 1999 in a 2-story building.
Gottschalks bought Harris in 1998, and their anchor store was rebranded first as Harris-Gottschalks, and later Gottschalks, leaving the mall with two Gottschalks stores.
In 2007, Mervyn’s closed, when the chain went bankrupt. Forever 21 opened in their anchor building soon after.
Both Gottschalks anchor stores closed in 2009, when the chain went bankrupt. In 2010, Macy's opened in the original Gottschalks anchor. In 2014, the second Gottschalks anchor store (originally Harris) was subdivided into multiple stores, with Dick’s Sporting Goods taking the majority of the space and H&M, SkyZone, and eight other businesses, including restaurants, stores, and services in the remainder.
In 2019, Forever 21 closed, when the chain went bankrupt.
Sears closed their anchor store on September 6, 2020, as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide.
In 2022, Bridge Group Investments acquired the mall for $60 million.
In August 2025, it was announced that Round 1 would open in the vacant Forever 21 anchor store.
Around this time, Antelope Valley Mall was rebranded as Mershops Antelope Valley Mall, when Bridge Group Investments rebranded as Mershops, a portfolio-wide change across all of their properties.
It was also announced that the mall would undergo a $10 million renovation, enhancing the common areas, food court, and entrances, and adding more security. This renovation will potentially start in 2026 / 2027.
