Is Boca Raton Town Center Mall About To Ban Dogs?

BOCA RUDETON IS BACK! Security Guard Seen Scolding Woman, Mall Seeks New Marketing Director!

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Boca Rudeton took a week off but is back with what may be BIG news. After weeks of photos of dogs pooping, being walked, and generally being bad in the disgusting Boca Raton Town Center Mall, we have learned that Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG) may be about to ban dogs from the mall in totality. Our first photo may support that claim — a claim shared by multiple sources. Our tipster says the security guard, above, told the woman to get her dog off of the couch. Security guards to this point have looked the other way as idiots, we mean rude people, let their dogs sit anywhere and do anything. Those dog days may be over.

We also note that Simon Property Group is seeking a new “Director of Marketing” and “Assistant Director of Marketing” for Boca Raton Town Center Mall. A marketing director tries to paint a pretty picture after a picture like the one, above, is publicized. We note that no one from Town Center Mall ever reached out after we showed dog poop left right in the middle of the mall. The company is now advertising for someone to fill that position — and Simon still loves DEI.

We stay at Boca Raton Town Center Mall for more Boca Rudeton…

Why, exactly, are this man and woman dressed like flags and walking with a dog dressed in pink in Boca Raton Town Center Mall?

…where we find a couple seemingly in need of serious help parading through the mall dressed as flags. With a dog. Go America!

And one more from the mall: a manly group of men sitting in the women’s section of Macy’s. With a dog. Why?

%%
Casimir Restaurant in Boca Raton.

Moving on now to Casimir Restaurant at 416 Via De Palmas in Boca Raton. We see a woman with a dog stroller, a glass of wine, and a dog. Wrote our tipster: “This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but I will no longer be a patron after seeing this dog at the table.”

Joseph’s Italian Market at Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach.

Joseph’s Italian Market at Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue, the market that is constantly the subject of Boca Rudeton dog complaints, is again front and center. We do not know why this woman felt it was okay to bring her dog in a food market. That’s against the law, unless the animal a highly trained service animal. Which we are just sure this one is.

That brings us to our routine reminder of what the law is in Florida. And for that, we turn to our friends at La Bamba in Delray Beach.

La Bamba No Dog Sign
La Bamba in Delray Beach reminds everyone entering that it is a crime to lie about your pet. If you claim it’s a service animal, it better be a legitimate service animal.
%%
B.J.‘s Wholesale Club in Boynton Beach.

To B.J.‘s in Boynton Beach, where we see this woman and her dog with a harness that is seemingly as big as the dog. Again, we’re sure this is a legitimate service animal.

%%
Outside the Publix at Fifth Avenue Shops in Boca Raton.

We move on to our parking section, and start with this unbelievable scene outside the Publix at the Fifth Avenue Shops in Boca Raton. Why, exactly, is a golf cart parked in a handicapped space? While it’s great that the owner followed the law and had it registered with Florida Plate 20BRZF, we do have to wonder why the owner is now breaking the law and parking it in a handicapped spot — ensuring that no car carrying a disabled individual could use the space. Owner of Golf Cart 20BRZF, we ask this respectfully: “what the F is wrong with you?”

%%
In the parking garage at Boca Raton Town Center Mall.

And we quickly head back to Boca Raton Town Center Mall for this Toyota Corolla with Florida plate 95DYTS. That car barely needs one spot, so why is it taking two?

So who is our Boca Rudeton™ winner of the week? That’s easy! Our judges unanimously decided that this week’s winner of the owner/operator of the Golf Cart parked in a HANDICAPPED SPACE at Publix at the Fifth Avenue Shops in Boca Raton. Again, that was Florida license plate 20BRZF. We actually had a very special trophy made for this person, with a little help from Google Gemini:

    You have the AUDACITY to call people IDIOTS when they’ve been allowed by staff in the malls and the restaurants and the supermarkets to have their dogs with them? And you call THEM idiots? WHAT ARE YOU? Don’t you have REAL news to report or are you fake news? You insult their clothes and their dog as if the dog has anything to do with how the people are dressed. Yes, this is America and some of us are PROUD TO BE AMERICANS

      They are not “idiots”.. What they are rude, entitled MAGA Morons who feel Convicted Felon Trump gave them a presidential pass that allows their illegal, anti-social behavior of bringing disgusting pets where they are not allowed.

    Susan, you are dead wrong. These habitual offenders are shameless morons and should be called out. FYI, I am an American too, although your comment makes you sound drunk and angry.

      I do agree about the dogs in the mall, I go there to relax and enjoy shopping, I’m not there to hear dogs barking , peeing and pooping. As for the American flag, God bless those people for honouring the usa

    Dear Susan, I’m sorry for your anger. As a physician, I can tell you that these animals can carry diseases, and when allowed in places where others could be eating, illness is a possibility. The post is real news, as individuals who have underlying medical problems need to know if they are at risk by going to a mall or restaurant. Also, what does your comment have to be about being a “proud American”?

    Another excellent edition of Boca Rudeton! Not opinion. Not debatable. FACTS with pictures to back up the undisputed illegal and anti-society conduct of the complete a-holes featured. Get your dogs out of restaurants and stores. Nobody wants to hear them barking or growling at people or each other. Nobody wants to smell them, or get hair on our clothes or in our food from your dogs. You don’t get to ignore the law based on how much you like your dog anymore than I get to drive without regard to traffic laws or parking rules because I happen to like my car.

    I appreciate your willingness to call out these perpetrators! Recently a neighboring Publix posted a no dog permitted sign unless it’s a service dog yet people along with their animals continue to flaunt the rules. Kudos, too, for pointing out parking in the handicapped zone! What I want to know is where do the handicapped people with real disabilities park?!

    No Susan, it’s not the fault of the poor security guards and staff that work in the stores. I’ve asked employees of Publix and other stores why it’s allowed and the answer always is “we’ve been told by management to leave them alone” It’s the fault of the pet owners who think they are above the law. I hate entitled people who think they can do anything they want and don’t have to follow the rules

    @Rose I also fault the stores for not enforcing their posted ban of animals at the store. They fear loss of sales and litigation all at the risk of those whose health might be compromised. Why does anyone feel they are above the law? Go on I-95 and see how most flex this question to everyone driving that highway at anytime of day. (Because they can). It’s sick.

    Finally, someone actually speaks out against rampant dog culture and its perpetrators. Thank god there’s still some sanity left in the world. Dog owners have skirted rules and pushed boundaries for way too long, the entitlement is insane.

    People, PLEASE, what in heaven’s name does being ‘an American’ have to do with any of this? You sound quite foolish trying to connect having a dog at the mall or anywhere else for that matter with being ‘an American’. Grow a brain.
