East Hills Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in St. Joseph, Missouri, US. Opened in 1965, the mall currently features J.C. Penney, Dillard's, Gordmans, and Sears as its anchor stores. ==History== East Hills Mall was built by Sherman Dreiseszun in 1965 as one of the first malls in the Midwestern United States.〔(State has 'mall fever' ). St. Joseph News-Press. October 27, 1981.〕 Original tenants included Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penney, Safeway Inc., Katz Drug, Woolworth's, and Hirsch Brothers department store. The mall was expanded in 1988, and Dillard's and Sears were added then.〔(East Hills :: About Us :: 3702 Frederick Avenue, St. Joseph, MO. 64506 :: (816) 279-5667 ). Shopeasthills.com. Retrieved on 2013-10-29.〕 Throughout the 1990s East Hills lost many tenants, including Woolworth's, Sunglass Hut, A&W, and Osco Drug (formerly Katz Drug). Montgomery Ward closed in 2001, when that retail chain declared bankruptcy. By 2005 a locally-owned furniture retailer located in that space, and later closed.〔(Furniture store going into former Montgomery Ward ). St. Joseph News-Press. July 8, 2005.〕 From 2005 to 2008, Gadzooks, Famous Footwear, Waldenbooks, Lerner New York, f.y.e., and Coach House Gifts were other tenants to leave East Hills. The mall was renovated extensively in 2008 and 2009 with the addition of a food court, and in 2011 Gordmans opened in the former Montgomery Ward space. Throughout 2012 and 2013 many other new tenants were announced and opened, including Charlotte Russe, Justice, and Victoria's Secret. Off Broadway Shoes (in precisely the former location of Osco Drug), Charming Charlie, The Children's Place, and Body Central were also new tenants recruited to East Hills.〔(New Tenants Announced At East Hills Mall ).
