Southern Park Mall

Southern Park is a shopping mall in Boardman, Ohio, United States, serving the Youngstown–Warren metropolitan area.

The mall, which is the largest shopping destination in Mahoning County, has approximately 1,018,400 square feet (94,610 m2) of space.

One of the only remaining structures, the Southern Park Stable, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1986.

JCPenney and Strouss' relocated from DeBartolo's Greater Boardman Plaza, located approximately one mile west of Southern Park Mall.

In 1997, the mall went under an extensive renovation, shortly after the DeBartolo Corporation merged with Simon Property Group.

Simon spent $19 million making improvements to the interiors, adding a food court and a Cinemark Tinseltown USA 7 movie theater at the southeastern edge of the mall's property.

In 2007, there was talk of demolishing and expanding a portion of the Sears wing to bring outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment to the mall.

[13][14] The Cafaro Company being the owner of nearby competitor, The Eastwood Mall has not announced any redevelopment plans for their site.

In redevelopment efforts, Washington Prime Group tore down the Sears building in late 2019 and replaced it with the DeBartolo Commons, which added some smaller exterior storefronts whilst decreasing the overall square footage of the mall.
