History

Zamias Services, Inc. developed Rock Hill Galleria, [4] which opened for business on May 16, 1991. [5] Leading up to the Galleria's opening, the two largest shopping malls in the area were Rock Hill Mall (opened in 1968), and Town Center Mall (enclosing part of Downtown Rock Hill, and opened in 1975).

All three of Rock Hill Mall's anchor stores (Belk, JCPenney and Sears) immediately moved to the Galleria as it opened, and this effectively dealt a death blow to Rock Hill Mall, [6] its interior nearly emptied of occupied stores by early in 1993. Other anchors at the Galleria's opening included Phar-Mor and Walmart. [7] Phar-Mor former closed after only one year in business, [8] and was replaced with a Brendle's catalog showroom in October 1995, [9] but Brendle's closed after only six months in business, following the chain's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. [10]

The Phar-Mor/Brendle's space remained vacant until 2004, when it was replaced by Steve & Barry's. [11] Goody's was added as a new sixth anchor in 1998, having been delayed from an initial opening date of November 1997. [12] Steve & Barry's, and Goody's closed in 2008 and 2009, respectively, following the respective bankruptcy of each chain. In 2013, the Belk store was renovated, while the JCPenney store was doubled in size. [13]

In 2014, the former Goody's became Home South Furniture, [14] while Revolutions, a bowling alley and bar, opened in the former Phar-Mor/Steve & Barry's space.

On November 8, 2018, Sears announced that it would be closing its Rock Hill Galleria location in early 2019 as part of a plan to close 40 stores. [15] Revolutions and Home South both closed early in 2019. Revolutions was replaced by Stars and Strikes in 2023, and the Home South anchor spot remains vacant.

On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that its Galleria location would close as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. [16] JCPenney was eventually replaced by Dick's Sporting Goods.

A new Ashley HomeStore store has announced it will open in the space of the former Sears in late Summer 2024. [3]
