Short Pump Town Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Short Pump Town Center is located in Henrico County, Virginia on Broad Street, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) west of I-64 Exit 178A/B. This area of Henrico County is called The West End and is northwest of Richmond. Short Pump Town Center is a two-level, open-air retail center. It opened on September 17, 2003 and has over 200 stores. The retail center is owned and operated by Forest City Enterprises. Anchor stores are Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's, Macy's, and Nordstrom.

Surrounding the mall proper, there are several strip malls, other stores, and restaurants within walking or short driving distance. These located on the Town Center property, however not a part of the mall itself. Notable locations surrounding the Town Center include: Applebees, Barnes and Noble, Chili's, Chipotle, Circuit City, Petsmart, Regal Short Pump 14 and Red Robin. Locations such as these are listed on the mall's store directory despite not being attached to the mall itself[1].

Following a disagreement with Taubman Centers on a possible mall development project, Stony Point Fashion Park was developed as a direct competitor and opened in 2003 in the same month that Short Pump Town Center opened. It is smaller but of the same 'upscale' style as Short Pump Town Center.
