History
Edward J. Debartolo Corporation developed Indian River Mall in 1996. Its original anchors were JCPenney, Sears, Dillard's, and Burdines. A food court and 24-screen movie theater were added in 1997.
In 2005, Burdines was renamed by Macy's.
In 2007, a customer found $5,200 inside a pair of shoes he was purchasing.

In August 2016, Indian River mall sold an adjacent plaza, called the Indian River Commons, which consists of Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less, Target, Office Depot (now Burlington Coat Factory), Bed Bath & Beyond, Lowe's Home Improvement and Michaels Arts & Crafts. . Both Office Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond have since closed their locations.

On January 8, 2020, it was announced that Macy’s would be closing in April 2020 as part of a plan to close 125 stores nationwide.
In 2020, Victoria's Secret closed at the mall as part of a plan to close 250 stores nationwide. TGI Friday’s closed later that year. The TGI Friday's later became Casa Amigos.
