Woolworth Photos and History 1972

 Woolworth opened in 1969, along with Sears in Phase 1 of the Southern Park Mall. By 1998, the store permanently closed. This being said, the majority of the space did not go vacant. It was split four ways into Foot Locker - Mens/Ladies/Kids, and an Afterthoughts. All four brands were owned by Woolworth. A portion of the space was also used by Jillian’s which opened in 1999 and had no affiliation with Woolworth.

Dillard's Photos and History

Photo Taken Spring 2005

Photo Taken Winter 2006

Dillard's opened in 1992 after the buyout and conversion of Horne's. Following the buyout, the location received a renovation and expansion, creating the look seen in the photos above. The store remained the only full service Dillard's in the valley as the Eastwood Mall location was converted to an Clearance Center. It was announced on February 13, 2019 that the store would be closing. On the same day it was also announced that the Cafaro Company would be acquiring the building, and surrounding parking lots. Associates from the store said "The closure can't be from poor sales." Which leads many to believe the rival mall owner Cafaro had something to do with the closure. Since Dillard's vacated the property, the only things to inhabit the empty space have been a Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic, and a temporary Spirit Halloween.

Tilly’s Photos and History 2012

Tilly’s grand opening. Photos taken August 25, 2012.

Tilly’s opened on August 25, 2012 in the former Abercrombie & Fitch store, which was vacated a year prior. Tilly’s was brought in to attract a younger crowd, and a rising more popular trend, called “urban wear.” As of July 2024, the store remains open.

Coney Island Hotdogs Photos and History 2011

Coney Island Hotdogs shortly after opening in 2011

The coming soon wall for Coney Island Hotdogs. Photo taken May 11, 2011.

Coney Island Hotdogs opened in May of 2011, and closed after over ten years inside the mall in June of 2024. The stand started in the former Hot Sam’s pretzels space shown above, but moved to the former McDonalds space in the food court soon after. The reason for closure was not stated, however it can be assumed that rising costs for business, and rent were contributing factors.

Vanity Photos and History 2016

 Vanity opened on May 2, 2016. Although this tenant had a short lived run at Southern Park replacing longtime staple Wet Seal, it did make an impact. Vanity came with Zumiez at this time to bring a younger crowd into the aging mall. However the presence was short lived closing barely a year later in 2017.
