History

South Hill Mall opened in 1988 in Puyallup, Washington, at the junction of Washington State Route 512 and 31st Avenue SW. At the time, the mall included only three anchors: Mervyns, Lamonts and Target. Six years later, work began on a westward expansion which added more than 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) of new retail space, including three new anchors: JCPenney, Sears and The Bon Marché. Office Max and Old Navy were later added as well.

Lamonts was converted to Gottschalks in 2000 when the Lamonts chain was acquired. The Bon Marché was dual-branded as Bon-Macy's in 2003, and then was renamed as just Macy's in 2005, the same year that Gottschalks closed most of the former Lamonts stores. Within a year of its closing, the former Gottschalks anchor was split between Circuit City and Linens 'n Things. Mervyns closed in 2006 as the chain exited Washington. By May of the same year, it was announced that Kohl's, a chain based in Wisconsin, had acquired the former Mervyns store, although the mall's manager later said that Kohl's had no plans to open a store in the mall. A multimillion-dollar renovation of the mall also began in 2009, starting with a renovation of the food court. In addition, JCPenney moved its women's departments to the former Mervyns, while retaining all other departments in the existing store. Dick's Sporting Goods opened its first Washington state location in April 2010, replacing the spaces vacated by Circuit City and Linens 'n Things.
