It was developed by the [[Oxford Development|Oxford Development Co.]] as the first shopping complex in Greater Pittsburgh to be built as a fully enclosed structure. The two-level complex is currently owned by [[Simon Property Group]], who acquired it in 1997. It is anchored by [[Dick's Sporting Goods]], [[Macy's]] (formerly [[Horne's]] and [[Lazarus (department store)|Lazarus]]), and [[Target Corporation|Target]] (formerly [[Gimbels]], [[Kaufmann's]] and [[Boscov's]]) with one vacant anchor last occupied by [[Sears]]. The mall features over 134 specialty stores. The mall also houses a food court and several professional offices. South Hills Village was the largest in Greater Pittsburgh until the [[Monroeville Mall]], also built by the Oxford Development Company, opened in 1969. Located across the street from Macy's is the [[South Hills Village (PAT station)|South Hills Village]] [[Pittsburgh Light Rail|light rail]] station. This terminal opened for revenue service in July 1985. Businesses located just outside the mall include [[Eat'n Park|Eat 'N Park]], [[AMC Theatres|AMC Classic South Hills Village 10]] (opened as [[Carmike Cinemas|Carmike 10 Theater]]), [[KeyBank]] (originally [[First Niagara Bank]]), and a [[Barnes & Noble|Barnes & Noble Bookstore]] (This appears to be part of the mall, but is only accessible from outside.) On May 31, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing in June 2018 as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide. It ended up closing on September 4th, 2018.<ref>{{Cite news|url= http://www.businessinsider.com/sears-closes-72-stores-as-sales-tumble-2018-5?r=UK&IR=T|author=Halyey Peterson|publisher=Business Insider|title= Sears is closing 63 stores as sales tumble — here's the full list|date=May 31, 2018|accessdate=May 31, 2018}}</ref><ref>https://patch.com/pennsylvania/pittsburgh/sears-kmart-closings-3-more-pittsburgh-area-vanishing</ref> Of the 80+ stores and services that opened with the mall on July 28, 1965, one is still in business today: Stephens Hair Graphics. ==2010s Redevelopment== [[File:South Hills_Village_northern_court_jeh.jpg|thumb|220px|right|North courtyard]] The vacant three-story [[Boscov's]] store (formerly [[Gimbels]] and then [[Kaufmann's]]) has been converted for use by [[Target Corporation|Target]] and [[Dick's Sporting Goods]].<ref>http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/business/s_653848.html</ref> This allowed Target to enter Pittsburgh's South Hills market where limited land for new development had precluded a new store. It also allowed Dick's Sporting Goods to open a much larger store to replace the small location formerly on the mall periphery. Target operates on an expanded first level of the space with Dick's Sporting Goods taking the second and third floors, though the third floor is only accessible from within the Dick's Sporting Goods store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2011/01/14/target-dicks-coming-to-south-hills-village/|title=Target, Dick's Coming To South Hills Village|author=|date=14 January 2011|website=cbslocal.com|accessdate=1 April 2018}}</ref> Dick's Sporting Goods had its grand opening October 17, 2012 and Target opened March 6, 2013. During the redevelopment, a former elevator used to connect the 3 floors was ripped out and replaced with an elevator that only Serves the Dicks Sporting Goods levels (2-3). There is still a freight elevator that serves all 3 floors. In September 2018, it was announced that [[Life Time Fitness]] will be opening in the former Sears location in Fall 2019. <br /> {{Portal|Pittsburgh}} [[File:South Hills Village Mall 2018.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Corridor near [[Macy's]].]] ==References== {{commonscat}} {{reflist}} {{Pittsburgh Shopping}} {{Simon Property Group}} [[Category:Shopping malls in Metro Pittsburgh]] [[Category:Simon Property Group]] [[Category:Shopping malls established in 1965]]'
