Arundel Mills is a mall located in Hanover, Maryland (south of Baltimore, near BWI Airport) and is owned by Simon Property Group. With its 1,630,000 sq ft (151,000 m2) GLA, it is the largest mall in the state of Maryland. The mall is located at the intersection of Maryland Route 100 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (Maryland Route 295) in northwestern Anne Arundel County (hence the name "Arundel" Mills).
Arundel Mills opened in November 2000. It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times dinner theater.[1] In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills also features a Dave & Buster's, Maryland Live! Casino, and an Egyptian-themed 24-screen megaplex theater. The movie theater was the only outlet of its Muvico chain in the state of Maryland before being sold to Cinemark in March 2009.[2]
The mall's interior layout features a "racetrack" design or, more noticeably, the outline of a boat. Mall sponsors are Toyota, The Baltimore Sun, Comcast, Discover Card, and Coca-Cola. Arundel Mills has over 225 stores.[3]
Arundel Mills has 5 distinct neighborhoods with anchors and at least one mall entry. The Neighborhoods are designed after Maryland's culture.
While not officially a part of Arundel Mills mall, big-box stores, major retailers, and restaurants adjacent to the property include Walmart, Costco, Michaels, hhgregg, Staples, Safeway, Men's Wearhouse, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, Potbelly Sandwich Works, Chipotle Mexican Grill, McDonald's, T.G.I. Friday's, Panera Bread, Golden Corral, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Joe's Crab Shack.
Lodging facilities in the immediate vicinity include Aloft Arundel Mills, Residence Inn by Marriott, Element by Westin Arundel Mills, TownePlace Suites by Marriott, and Hampton Inn & Suites.
Educational facilities in the area include Anne Arundel Community College, and Frank-Hebron Harman Elementary School.
Since the mall is located in a suburban area of Baltimore, there are many suburban neighborhoods around the area.
After Maryland voters approved slot machine gambling in Maryland in 2008, The Cordish Company planned a slots parlor next to the mall. The proposal for slots at Arundel Mills was on the ballot as a referendum in the November 2010 elections; the referendum passed, and construction began on the casino shortly afterward, with the grand opening of its first phase held on June 6, 2012, at 10 pm.[4] Since full completion in September 2012, Maryland Live! has about 380,000 sq. ft. of floor space[5] and 4,750 gaming slots.[5] Maryland Live! is a free-standing facility, separated from Arundel Mills by the inner mall ring road.[6] Although not directly connected to the mall, the casino is within walking distance of the food court entrance. Maryland Live! includes a 5,000-space parking structure at Arundel Mills with a "smart park" green-and-red-light space availability feature, such as the system used at nearby BWI Airport.[6] Parking is available free of charge during all mall hours for Arundel Mills shoppers.[6]
Maryland Live! includes several dining options, including Bobby's Burger Palace;[7] The Cheesecake Factory;[7] and a Prime Rib steakhouse. The project was to feature the world-famous Baltimore-based Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant; however, the restaurant announced in November 2011 that it would not be opening a location there. Instead, Phillips Seafood will open a location at the site.[8] Maryland Live! also has a live music venue operated by Annapolis-based Rams Head.[7] Rams Head Live! includes fixed seating for approximately 300 in a cabaret-style design with several stepped viewing levels of the stage.[7]
