More Retailer Renovations and Grand Re-Openings at South Hills Village

What's new at our local mall in Upper St. Clair/Bethel Park.

As the new Dick's Sporting Goods store prepares to open soon, and the new Target store next year, other stores inside South Hills Village have been renovating.

It looks more navigable than the last design. I got shopping with my wife and kids and the old design was impossible to navigate with a stroller!   more ›
