Queens Center is an urban shopping mall in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, on Queens Boulevard between 57th Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard, one block away from Queens Place Mall. Queens Center is the largest mall in Queens. It is currently owned and managed by The Macerich Company, who purchased the mall in the 1990s. The building where JCPenney and Burlington are located is separately owned by Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp, a supermarket, and automobile parking. The original anchor tenants were Abraham & Straus and Ohrbach's. The mall underwent a major expansion from 2002 to 2004, nearly doubling in size as the original mall was renovated and another wing was added to the east of 92nd Street.
For a limited time during the 2006 Christmas shopping season, the Macy's location in Queens Center was open 24 hours a day, becoming the first to do so. Since then, it has had all-day operating hours during every Christmas shopping season.
On March 8, 2019, the mall was evacuated when a supposed appearance by The Bronx rapper, A Boogie wit da Hoodie was canceled after fans, most of whom were high school teens that had a half day of school rioted and looted stores, including the sneaker store, Foot Locker. The mall reopened the next day.
The mall underwent renovations during the mid-2020s. This included upgrades to furnishings, lighting, and the parking lots.
