Queens Center Mall opened on September 12, 1973, on land previously occupied by a children's amusement park named Fairyland,[4][5][6] a supermarket, and automobile parking. The original anchor tenants were Abraham & Straus and Ohrbach's. The mall underwent a major expansion from 2002 to 2004, nearly doubling in size as the original mall was renovated and another wing was added to the east of 92nd Street.[7][8]
The mall's current anchor tenants are Macy's and JCPenney. In addition, it has a large food court in the basement.[9]
For a limited time during the 2006 Christmas shopping season, the Macy's location in Queens Center was open 24 hours a day, becoming the first to do so. Since then, it has had all-day operating hours during every Christmas shopping season.[10]
On March 8, 2019, the mall was evacuated when an appearance by rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie was canceled and fans rioted and looted stores, including the Foot Locker.[11] The mall reopened the next day.
