Westfield Connecticut Post

The Westfield Connecticut Post, formerly the Connecticut Post Mall, is a 2-story shopping mall, located on the Boston Post Road in Milford, Connecticut. It is currently owned and operated by The Westfield Group. It was formerly owned by Connecticut Post Limited.

[edit] Expansion

The mall opened in 1960[1] and underwent a renovation in the late 1980s, adding the Skyview Cafe food court, and losing an anchor store, Alexander's.

The Mall strongly opposed the proposed rival New Haven Galleria mall at Long Wharf, filing over 15 lawsuits. [2] [3] [4]

A $118 million [5] 480,000-square-foot [6] expansion project took place in 2005-2006, adding:

an additional level of parking
a 75,000-square-foot [7] third floor to Macy's
a large extension to the building with a 55,000-square-foot [8] movie theater (Showcase Cinema De Lux 14, replacing the previously adjacent building Milford 4-Plex), a second food court, and two more anchors, Dick's Sporting Goods and Target.

There was a large gang brawl there on Nov. 18, 2006.
