Western Hills Mall is a shopping mall located in Fairfield, Alabama, United States, a suburb of Birmingham.
The mall opened in 1969 as the second in Birmingham,[1] under the development of Aronov Realty.[2] Loveman's of Alabama, which became Pizitz in 1980, was one of its original anchor stores.[3] Pizitz later became McRae's, then Parisian. JCPenney was the other major store, with Yeilding's and F.W. Woolworth Company as the other major tenants.[4] The Yeilding's space was later occupied by Goody's Family Clothing.
In 2006, Western Hills Mall underwent a major transformation. The JCPenney location was demolished, with the mall building being truncated at the former Penney entrance. A new Walmart Supercenter was built on the site of the former JCPenney.[5] Parisian also closed in the late 2000s and a Burlington Coat Factory took its place.[6]
In January 2016, Walmart Supercenter closed its doors.[7] In February 2017, Burlington Coat Factory also went out of business from the mall, which left the mall with no anchors.[8]
On February 16, 2018, a shootout occurred at the mall. Anthony Alberigi, the manager of the mall, was killed in the gunfire.[9]
In January 2022, the Peleg Group of Miami, Florida, bought the mall from Aronov Realty for $2.94 million.[10] Once taking ownership, they went forward with a $4 million renovation project that included new AC, new paint, a new parking lot and fixing various roof issues.[11]
