Promenade Temecula

Promenade Temecula opened on October 27, 1999, with three department stores: JCPenney, Robinsons-May, and Sears. Macy's opened in 2002 alongside a new concourse of shops. The Macy's and the additional stores occupied space originally set aside for an ice skating rink on the south side of the {{convert|766500|sqft|m2|adj=on}} mall, which never came to fruition. In 2008, Macy's acquired the former Robinsons-May location, which on June 14 began operating as the Macy's Men's, Children, and Home store. The original location became a Macy's Women's only store.

In 2009, a number of developments helped transform the Promenade. Two new parking garages were built between the Edwards Theatres and Macy's, and between them, a row of shops called "The Shops on Promenade Drive" was added, with a new entrance through the JCPenney wing with shops and restaurants such as White House Black Market, Apple, P.F. Chang's, LOFT, MAC, Chico's, Soma Intimates, Sleep Number, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, Coach, Yard House, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, The Walking Company, and Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que. This section of the mall officially opened on March 26, 2009.

In 2011, plans to track cell phones starting Black Friday of that year were planned, by using GPS data via a system developed by company Path Intelligence.{{Cite web |last= |title=Temecula mall to track Black Friday shoppers with GPS {{!}} ABC7 Los Angeles {{!}} abc7.com |url=https://abc7.com/archive/8442885/ |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=ABC7 Los Angeles |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Censky |first=Annalyn |title=Malls track shoppers' cell phones on Black Friday |url=https://money.cnn.com/2011/11/22/technology/malls_track_cell_phones_black_friday/index.htm |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=CNNMoney}}{{Cite web |last=Savov |first=Vlad |date=2011-11-23 |title=Two US malls will track shoppers' location via their cellphones this holiday season |url=https://www.theverge.com/2011/11/23/2582443/two-us-malls-will-track-shoppers-location-via-their-cellphone-this |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=The Verge |language=en}} These plans were cancelled after Senator Chuck Schumer raised privacy concerns.{{Cite web |date=2011-11-29 |title=Malls halt cellphone-tracking experiment after complaint from Senator Schumer |url=https://www.engadget.com/2011-11-29-malls-halt-cellphone-tracking-experiment-after-complaint-from-se.html |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=Engadget |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Bishop |first=Bryan |date=2011-11-30 |title=Malls call off shopper cellphone tracking plans after Senator raises concerns |url=https://www.theverge.com/2011/11/30/2599473/malls-cellphone-tracking-canceled-senator-schumer |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=The Verge |language=en}}

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Promenade Temecula, into Seritage Growth Properties.{{Cite web|url=http://www.seritage.com/retail/property/40710-winchester-rd/3312478/landing|title=At Promenade in Temecula | Seritage}}

On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location a part of a plan to close 96 stores nationwide. The store closed in February 2020.{{cite news |last1=Tyko |last2=Bomey |first1=Kelly |first2=Nathan |title=Sears and Kmart store closings: 51 Sears, 45 Kmart locations to shutter.

The second floor of the Sears space was converted to Dick's Sporting Goods, which opened in April 2022.{{cite web |last1=McAllister |first1=Toni |title=Dick's Sporting Goods Opens In Temecula; Murrieta Store Closes |url=https://patch.com/california/temecula/dicks-sporting-goods-opens-temecula-murrieta-store-closes |website=Temecula Patch |date=31 March 2022 |publisher=Patch Media |access-date=17 May 2022}}

In 2016, the city of Temecula approved a "multi-million" dollar renovation project for the property.{{cite web|last1=Claverie|first1=Aaron|title=Why Temecula's Promenade mall renovation hasn't begun construction yet|url=http://www.pe.com/2017/03/31/why-temeculas-promenade-mall-renovation-hasnt-begun-construction-yet/|website=PE.com|date=31 March 2017|publisher=The Press-Enterprise|access-date=17 May 2017}} Plans are for a two-story open-air plaza to cut though the Macy's wing in the southwestern corner of the property. In addition, the plan includes construction of two new restaurants to be built in what is currently the parking lot west of Macy's south building. One of the restaurants, The Cheesecake Factory, opened on November 20, 2018;{{Cite web|url=https://patch.com/california/temecula/temecula-cheescake-factory-announces-opening-date-hiring-spree|title = Temecula Cheesecake Factory Announces Opening Date, Hiring Spree|date = 27 September 2018}} however, no timeline has been announced for the rest of the project.
