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

The mall opened August 16, 1978, ^[2] 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. ^[3] 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. ^[4] On February 8, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing in April 2020. ^[5]
