Valley Hills Mall is a two-story regional shopping mall located in Hickory, North Carolina. It is currently managed by JLL. It is anchored by Belk, Dillard's, and J. C. Penney.[1]

History

[edit]

The mall opened August 1978, as the second mall in Hickory, the first being Catawba Mall (was Catawba Furniture Mall. Now a U-Haul storage and rental store). Its two anchors at the time were Belk and Sears. A 1988 expansion relocated J. C. Penney from Catawba Mall to Valley Hills Mall. A food court was located near Sears on the lower level. The mall was renovated in 1999 adding a fourth anchor, Dillard's, and a new, larger food court on the upper level.[2] In May 2015, it was announced that a portion of the upper level of the mall would be reworked to allow for the opening of a new 20,000 square foot H&M store.[3] On February 8, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing in April 2020.[4]
