Governor’s Square is a super-regional shopping mall located on Apalachee Parkway in Tallahassee, Florida.
Its two-level design was a first for northern Florida when it opened in 1979, and it remains the newest of two enclosed malls in the Tallahassee area, the other being Tallahassee Mall.
Built into a hillside, the mall can be entered either on the first or second level, depending on where a particular entrance is located. The mall’s original anchors, JCPenney, Sears & Maas Brothers anchored the original structure. Maas Brothers was converted to Burdines in 1991. A 1993 expansion included an additional wing as well as Dillard’s becoming the fourth anchor. Over the course of 2004 and 2005, the Burdines store was converted to a Macy’s.
The mall lies within a relatively affluent trade area less than two miles (3 km) east of downtown, and is generally considered to offer the most high-end retail in Tallahassee.
