St. Louis Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Louis Centre was a shopping mall located in St. Louis, Missouri. Opened in 1984, it aimed to bring the benefits of suburban malls to the city center.
When it opened, the mall was anchored by May Company's Famous-Barr (now Macy's) and Associated Dry Goods's (ADG) Stix, Baer and Fuller (SBF). Dillard's, which acquired Stix shortly thereafter, briefly closed the store and reopened a downsized store in 1985, finally closing that store in September 2001.
In February 2006, one of the premier redevelopers of downtown St. Louis, Pyramid, along with The Carpenters' District Council of Greater St. Louis as a financial partner, bought the mall and currently has plans to rebuild the mall as first floor retail and the upper levels as luxury condos. They also plan to destroy the bridge over Washington Avenue.
