Pittsburgh Mills

Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills or Pittsburgh Mills is a one-level shopping mall 16.5 miles (26.6 km) southwest of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between Alexander H. Lindsay Memorial Highway and Pittsburgh Mills Circle in Tarentum, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The mall currently has four open anchors which are Macy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Joann Fabrics and MAC Discount.
== Opening ==
Pittsburgh Mills was open to the public on July 14, 2005, developed by Mills Corporation, now Simon Property Group. It's original anchors included Kaufmann's, JCPenney, Sears Grand, Lucky Strike Lanes, Linens 'N Things and Borders Books. Although Kaufmann's would only last one year as in September 2006, All Kaufmann's stores were converted into Macy's.
== Decline ==
Despite opening to much fanfare in 2005, Pittsburgh Mills would never see the success that its owners had hoped. In 2006, Lucky Strike Lanes had closed after being open for just a year and was eventually replaced with two restaurants, Dingbats, Abate Seafood and a banquet hall. Linens 'N Things then closed in 2008 due to the company going out of business and Borders Books closed in 2011 for the same reason. Starting in 2014, non-retail businesses began occupying space in the mall. These included real estate offices, armed forces recruiters, pharmacy and medical supply outlets and fitness clubs. In 2015, Sears Grand would close down it's store and remain vacant for six years and the building would only be used as Spirit Halloween during halloween seasons. One of the largest non-traditional tenants, ITT Technical School, closed its location at the mall in 2016. In May 2020, the eighteen-screen Cinemark Cinema closed its doors down due to the COVID-19 pandemic but reopened in January 2021 under ownership of Goodrich Quality Theaters. In October 2020, JCPenney shut down their Pittsburgh Mills location and has remained vacant since then. As of February 2022, Pittsburgh Mills only contains 45 open stores out of 105 vacant stores. Those stores include AT&T, Bath & Body Works, Champs Sports, Claire's, Panera Bread and Verizon.
