La Habra Marketplace, formerly La Habra Fashion Square, is an open-air regional mall in La Habra, California, built by the Bullock's department store chain. Welton Becket and Associates were the architects.[4] It was the last and largest of the "Fashion Square" malls that it built, after Santa Ana, Sherman Oaks and Del Amo.[1][5] The site measured 40 acres (160,000 m2), with 565,618 square feet (52,547.6 m2) of retail space, of which the large Bullock's store represented about half.[6] The center has been re-developed into a strip mall called La Habra Marketplace.

## Original tenants

[edit]

Department stores (major and junior) at launch were:[1]

* Bullock's \- as of 1987 measuring 271,000 square feet (25,200 m2)
* Buffum's \- as of 1987 measuring 120,000 square feet (11,000 m2)
* Joseph Magnin \- 19,500 square feet (1,810 m2))[1][4]
* Silverwoods

Other stores at opening included Hickory Farms, B. Dalton Bookseller, Damon's, Draper's, Leed's, See's Candy, Slavick's Jewelers, United California Bank and Crocker-Citizens Bank. Restaurants included Fiddler's Three, Don Paul and Lyons.[1]

## Reception

[edit]

Partially due to the proximity of other malls, and also that the envisioned Imperial Highway (SR-90) and Beach Boulevard (SR-39) freeways were not built in time and thus never brought the expected traffic, the mall turned out to be disappointing and generally had disappointing sales performance.

By 1987, at $27.8 million, annual sales were second to last of Orange County's 14 regional malls, and its sales per square foot were last of 48 regional malls in Southern California regional malls, at $50.78 versus, for example, $190.09 at South Coast Plaza.[6]

The Bullock's store was closed in 1992,[7] razed in the late 1990s[3] and strip mall buildings were constructed in the mall's place.

## Current shopping center

[edit]

The community shopping center now on the site is named La Habra Marketplace and has 375,013 square feet (34,839.8 m2) of gross leasable area.[8] Current tenants include Smart & Final (formerly Drug Emporium), Ross Dress for Less, LA Fitness, Sprouts Farmers Market (formerly OfficeMax) and Regal Cinemas.[9]
