Was looking for this mention! Here's the actual design it's based on, scanned from Judson Beaumont's book

Scanned a bunch of images of Valencia Town Center mall from the time of it's opening in 1992 -- including a mysterious 'time capsule / floor clock' (img 1 & 4). I can't find a single mention anywhere except for one of the books I scanned these images from. Anyone remember it?

The Visual Merchandising & Store Design (VM&SD) mag issue I scanned these from had these two first images showing the merch in regular lighting conditions vs. intended UV lighting for display/sales purposes.

Forgotten Retail: Glow! (1996-2004) store - designed by Richard Altuna

In 1996 Spencer's Gifts spun-off a line of stores singularly dedicated to glow-in-the-dark black light products; opening this first store in Universal's CityWalk complex.

*Hoping to switch fully to posting here from now on!

Unfortunately I've never found any images of Seminole Town Center; I have found quite a few Burdines though, love their design with those PoMo palms!
