## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Cross County Mall was a partially enclosed mall located west of West Palm Beach, Florida at Military Trail and Okeechobee Blvd, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Interstate 95. The site is within 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of Florida's Turnpike and Palm Beach International Airport. It was purchased in September 1997 and subsequently demolished and revamped into Cross County Plaza, a power center with some of the original anchors. It now features a Ross, Presidente Supermarket, Ollie's Bargain Outlet and many chain and local shops and restaurants.
