Arundel Mills is a mall located in Hanover, Maryland (south of Baltimore, near BWI Airport) and is now owned by Simon Property Group. With its 1,300,000 sq. ft. GLA, It was the largest mall in Maryland, until the Westfield Annapolis Mall surpassed it with its 2007 expansion. 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. In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills also features an Egyptian-themed 24-screen Muvico megaplex theater, a Dave & Buster's, and a Medieval Times dinner theater. It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times, and its Muvico, the only outlet of the theater chain in the state of Maryland (and Muvico's first location outside of Florida), is the highest-attended movie theater in the United States, with about 2.8 million tickets sold in 2006. [1] Muvico Egyptian 24 is one of only two movie theaters in Maryland that utilize the Dolby Digital Cinema technology for showing digitally formatted movies.[2] The mall has 1.3 million sq. ft. gross leasable area; is shaped like an elongated ring or more noticeable, a boat. Mall sponsors are Toyota, The Baltimore Sun, Comcast, Discover Card, and Coca-Cola.
