the Shops at Wiregrass in nearby Wesley Chapel, which opened in 2008. Steve & Barry's opened on the first floor of the JCPenney spot in 2006. In October 2008, the Dillard's opened a store at the Shops at Wiregrass, which led the store at University Mall to be converted from a standard location into a clearance center and the closure of the store's second floor. In January 2009, both Steve & Barry's and Starbucks closed their University Mall locations. University Mall's tenant space is owned by LSREF2 Clover Property 18, LLC and overseen by Hudson Advisors, LLC. CBRE was hired in September 2012 to handle property management and leasing. In August 2010, the Regal Cinemas closed. It was later purchased by Frank Theatres, who downgraded the theatre to 12 screens. Macy's closed permanently in March 2017. Dillard's Clearance Center then relocated into the first floor of the former Macy's space two months later, with the second floor of that space remaining closed to the public. This would be the third building at the mall to be occupied by Dillard's in its history. Grand's, a Puerto Rican department store, opened in Dillard's 1995-2017 location in September 2017. The second level of the Grand's space is also vacant. On March 13, 2018, the mall bought their Sears store from the company which will remain during the mall's name change from "University Mall" to "Uptown" as the mall gets a makeover while three new anchors are going into the former JCPenney and Steve and Barry's building. On August 22, 2018, Sears announced that they would close this location as part of 46 additional store closures nationwide. The store closed in November 2018. As part of the conversion of the mall into "Uptown", the closed section of the mall leading up to the former JCPenney building was demolished in February 2019. Dillard's Clearance Center closed permanently on April 28, 2022 and the building will eventually be demolished to make room for a Sprouts Farmers Market and a new building for Burlington to relocate.
