 The
North Hills area is considered to be “heaven on earth”
for shoppers in the region. The retail shopping districts offer
the finest shopping and services available. Area shoppers flock
to the wide variety of strip malls, shopping centers and the
four major malls: Ross Park Mall, North Hills Village Mall,
Northway Mall and Waterworks Mall. All four malls cover an astounding
2.6 million square feet.
Major retail attractions at these malls include: Kaufmann’s,
Lazarus, Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sears, Value
City, and JC Penney; along with nearly 200 shops, boutiques
and services. To soothe the hungry shopper, these malls also
offer a variety of food to choose from in their Food Courts.
Northway Mall, one of the first enclosed shopping malls in the
United States, also features a multi-movie discount cinema.
For a more quaint, small-town shopping experience, Bellevue,
Perrysville, West View and Sewickley offer a variety of shops,
landmarks and professional services. |
