Arizona Mills is an outlet shopping mall in Tempe, Arizona within the Phoenix metropolitan area. It is a tourist destination in Phoenix, Arizona built by the Mills Corporation (which owned 25%) and Taubman Centers. Taubman has since sold its 75% stake to Simon Property Group, which had already purchased the Mills Corporation in 2007. Arizona Mills opened on November 20, 1997, with 6,000 parking spaces and approximately 200 retailers. The mall is anchored by Old Navy, Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse, American Freight, Forever 21, Harkins Theatres, H&M, IMAX, Legoland Discovery Center, Rainforest Cafe, Sea Life Aquarium, Tilt Studio, Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, Camille La Vie, Conn's, and Burlington Coat Factory. It is located on the Southeast corner of US 60 and I-10.
Despite the term 'Mills' in its name, it is not nearby, or affiliated with Mill Avenue, a shopping and entertainment district near Hayden Butte to the north. The name is that of the property developer, the Mills Corporation.
Like other Mills Centers, Arizona Mills has abstract graphics at the entrances and throughout the mall. Numerous artworks are also displayed from the people of Arizona.
In June 2008, the mall's website was changed from its Mills Corporation format to the Simon Malls format along with 16 other sister Simon-Mills malls. It was the last Simon-Mills mall to make the switch. It is one of three malls Simon owns in Arizona, with Phoenix Premium Outlets in Chandler and Tucson Premium outlets as the others. It is the third mall Simon owned in Arizona, previously having owned Southgate Mall in Yuma, Arizona, and Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, Arizona later acquired by Carlyle Development Group.
