WestShore Plaza is an enclosed shopping mall located in the Westshore business district of Tampa, Florida, developed by Albert L. Manley of Boston, MA. WestShore Plaza was opened in 1967 and was touted as Tampa's first shopping center that was fully air-conditioned. WestShore houses many specialty shops including Charming Charlie, Banana Republic, LOFT, New Balance, and more. WestShore Plaza's anchors include Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, Old Navy, and Saks Fifth Avenue. There is also an AMC movie franchise (14-screen theatre), Tampa's only P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Maggiano's Little Italy, Seasons 52, high-end steakhouse chain The Palm and gourmet seafood eatery Mitchell's Fish Market Restaurant and Bar are also located at Westshore.
The mall has since seen numerous expansions. The tenant space at WestShore is owned and managed by Glimcher Realty Trust.
In the fall of 2012, H&M will open its second Tampa location at WestShore Plaza, in a space near JC Penney .
Famous quotes containing the words west and/or shore:
“The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
