Westfield Plaza Bonita, formerly Shopping Town Plaza Bonita, is a shopping mall in National City, California, owned by the Westfield Group. Its anchor stores are JCPenney, AMC Theaters, Macy's, and Target.

History

The mall opened in 1981 anchored by JC Penney, Mervyn's, Montgomery Ward, and the May Company.[1] Westfield America, Inc., a precursor to The Westfield Group acquired the shopping center in 1994.

In mid-2006, the former Wards store, which had been the location of seasonal retailers (Halloween costumers and art shows) was stripped and gutted and a new plan was announced to the public that the South end of the mall would be demolished and rebuilt.[2]
