Owings Mills Mall was a shopping mall in Owings Mills, Maryland, United States that hosted 155 stores and eateries, in the Baltimore County, Maryland, community of Owings Mills.[1] It was owned and managed by General Growth Properties (now Brookfield Properties). While its main entrance was off Red Run Boulevard between Painters Mill Road and Owings Mills Boulevard, the mall was also accessible from the exit ramps of I-795. It was originally known as Owings Mills Town Center. The mall was completely demolished in 2017, and redeveloped in 2019 as Mill Station.

The mall's final anchor store was JCPenney, which closed its doors on April 8, 2016. Previous anchors were Bambergers, Hecht's, Macy's, Boscov's,[2] Lord & Taylor,[3] Saks Fifth Avenue,[4] and Sears.[5] IFL (International Furniture Liquidators) was temporarily located in the space vacated by Lord & Taylor. Sticks 'N' Stuff, a furniture retailer, was temporarily located in the Sears building before it was demolished in 2004. The mall experienced the closures of several national stores, leaving many vacancies in this once upscale shopping mall.[6]
