The Southern Park Mall is a shopping mall in Boardman, Ohio, United States, developed by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation in 1970, and now owned by Washington Prime Group. The mall, which is the largest shopping destination in Mahoning County, has 1,198,000 square feet (111,300 m2) of space.

The location occupied by Macy's was occupied by Strouss, then Kaufmann's. Horne's was the central anchor until 1992 when the building was sold to Higbee's.[1] Higbee's was then sold to Dillard's the same year.

Southern Park underwent an extensive renovation in 1997, shortly after the DeBartolo Corporation merged with Simon Property Group. Simon spent $19 million to make improvements to the interiors, and added a food court and a movie theater, although the theater is not directly attached to the mall. Jillian's, which replaced a Woolworth, was a tenant from 1999 to 2011.[2]

On April 3, 2014 news was released of the sell of Southern Park Mall by Simon Property Group to its spinoff Washington Prime Group.[3]

On April 5, 2018 Sears announced that they would be closing their location at the mall.[4]

Anchor stores

  • Dillard's 187,560 square feet (17,425 m2)
  • JCPenney 262,000 square feet (24,341 m2)
  • Macy's 186,980 square feet (17,371 m2)
  • Vacant 175,600 square feet (16,314 m2)

Movie theater

Situated on the eastern edge of the mall's property is Tinseltown USA, a 7-screen cinema operated by the movie theater conglomerate Cinemark. The theater opened during the mall's renovation period of 1996–1997. The largest of the screens seats 470 patrons, while the two smallest seat over 200. Two of the screens (including the 470 seat house, the other seats 281) feature a wrap-around, concave design so that the screen fills more of the viewer's field of vision.
