CASA GRANDE — Residents may have noticed major changes to the old Casa Grande Mall site at Florence Boulevard and Pueblo Drive. Initial demolition work to the front part of the property has begun, to be followed by extensive renovations and a reconfiguration.
The site formally hosted a Kmart and Safeway as well as a theater and other stores to make up the city’s main retail complex prior to the opening of Promenade at Casa Grande. To longtime locals, the mall represents a place of fond memories.
Property owner and developer Chris Hinkson told PinalCentral he’s excited about the new project and about the impressive portfolio of stores that will be operating at the new mall, which is expected to be fully completed in mid-2025.
