Normandy mall was located in Jacksonville, FL on Normandy Blvd.  It opened in 1969 and closed down in 1989. It was 394,000 sq. feet and was Jacksonville first fully enclosed shopping mall. It was purchased a couple of years ago by The Potter's House Christen Fellowship for $4 million. The mall was still completely in tacked and abandoned when they purchased it. They wanted to restore it to it's former glory. This is from PHCF's website "The initial phase of the project involves converting the former Sam's Wholesale Club facility into a 4000-seat sanctuary, a 600-seat children's church, complete nursery facilities, adequate classrooms for biblical training and expanded administrative offices. Once fully developed, conventional retail enterprises, an expanded small business incubation center and a variety of social services will occupy the remaining space." The renovations are nearly complete and the complex is called the PHCF Commerce Center. Part of the old mall has been turned back into a mall by the church and it's called the Kingdom Plaza Mall. It has a bowling alley, fitness center, clothing stores, restaurant, among other things. Click Here for a page with several galleries of pictures of the mall being renovated.
