- Driving around Colonial Plaza in Orlando, Florida. Today I though it would be fun to drive around Colonial Plaza in Orlando. Colonial Plaza is an outdoor mall located across the street from Fashion Square Mall and about eight minutes drive from downtown Orlando. Colonial Plaza opened in 1956 and it was the largest retail development in the state of Florida at the time of its construction. The original complex included two supermarkets and two variety stores, plus a Belk department store. It also underwent multiple expansions in its history, the first of which added a Jordan Marsh department store and an enclosed mall concourse. Further expansion in 1973 added a second enclosed wing and a relocation of Belk, while Ivey's was added in 1983 and sold to Dillard's in 1990. The center's vacancy increased in the early 1990s due to competition from Orlando Fashion Square and complexities with the property's layout, with Jordan Marsh, Dillard's, and Belk all closing between 1991 and 1995. A renovation between 1995 and 1996 restructured the complex into an open-air power center. Since 2001, it has been owned and managed by Weingarten Realty, and major tenants include Total Wine & More, Hobby Lobby, Ross Dress for Less, Staples, Bealls Outlet, Marshalls, Old Navy, Big Lots, Stein Mart, Barnes & Noble, and Petco.
Nice! The Barnes & Noble, there, was my regular hangout for years! 😎
It's still operating. I was shocked to see that. Happy, too.
Formerly the Colonial Plaza Mall. The Barnes & Noble used to be Publix, Petco was Walgreens and Total Wine & Spirits was Belk. Some original structures still stand, albeit remodeled.
Thanks Travis.
@@OrlandoStreets You're welcome!
wow, i dont remember it being a publix since im only thirteen but ive been going to that barnes and noble since i was a toddler
@@hunter-ws8sx The original mall closed in '95, but, I do remember going to Dillard's there before they moved to Fashion Square. Barnes & Noble used to be where the Herndon Library was, which is now closed.
I really like how the stores from the outside look
Oh wow. So much has changed already since this video was posted! No more steinmart and the plaza has a Conn’s HomePlus now. Also the chick fil a is currently under renovation and closed! Nice video. Thank you
We miss colonial mall and praying that Orlando fashion square Mall don't disappear to.
Pretty and Comfortable
Back 1990 on international drive and oak ridge road where this mall called belz outlet mall but then in year 2000 was demolish went on to be premier outlet.
Great video ! I get homesick for Florida. Your videos cheer me up. Any chance you could do a similar video like this of the shops at Dr Phillips area ? Thanks 😀
Which shops? Address?
Orlando Streets Hi ! The ones on Sand Lake Road/ Restaurant Row. There's a Corona Cigar Company, Publix, etc. The address for Corona Cigars is 7792 W Sand Lake Road. Thanks for asking 😀
I saw Star Wars at the old theater there the first 5 times. Also had the high score on the "Tempest" video game in the lobby, for at least a day, probably during "The Empire Strikes Back". ;)
Thanks for sharing that. I remember the Tempest game, it was fun. I just discovered the theater I saw Star Wars in closed in 1999. It was the Century Cinedome in Orange, California. The theater looked like the building in Logan's Run. Memories.
@@OrlandoStreets crazy how time flies. I haven't been to Orlando since 2005. It's neat to see how its changed, thanks for the content 👍
I'm going to the Plaza Live in April to see Uriah Heep I think I saw The Neverending Story there in 1984
It's ironic. That's where the old mall used to be before they remodeled it into an outside shopping area. And now the fashion square is dying and that place looks like it's doing quite well.
Woop woop plaza 😎
I love Five Below and Big Lots xD
I miss home 😥
2:57: On the right used to be Floor & Decor before it moved to Fashion Square
