Plaza Rio Hondo is a shopping mall in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Opened in 1982, it is anchored by Marshalls Megastore, TJ Maxx, Best Buy, and Kmart.^[1]

History

The mall's original anchors included Woolworth, which closed in 1997 and was split between Marshalls and Tiendas Capri.^[2]

In 2004, Marshalls moved from its existing store at the mall to a Megastore at the other end. The original Marshalls became a flagship store for CompUSA,^[3] which closed in 2008 and became Best Buy. A year later, Developers Diversified Realty bought the mall.^[4] TJ Maxx replaced Tiendas Capri in 2011.^[5]

Developers Diversified partnered with textiles retailer Anna's Linens to open stores at Rio Hondo and other malls in Puerto Rico in 2012.^[6]

In 2014, DDR announced a full remodel of the mall.^[7]
