Lakeforest Mall

Common card · No. 436969

Lakeforest Mall, informally known simply as Lakeforest, was an enclosed shopping mall located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The property has been owned by WRS Inc. Real Estate Investments as of July 2019, which is in the process of redeveloping the former site. The mall closed to the public on March 31, 2023. Until 2013, a large children's play area was at the center. Following the closure of three of its four anchor stores, JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, and Sears in December 2019, Macy's remained as the mall's final remaining anchor store until 2023, with the rest of the mall closing shortly after. Following its closure, the mall began demolition in June 2025 and completed demolition one year later to allow for redevelopment into a mixed-use district.
