Columbia Place is one of South Carolina's largest shopping malls, with nearly 1,100,000 square feet (102,000 m²) of retail space. The mall is located just off Interstate 20 and Interstate 77 on Two Notch Road in Columbia, South Carolina.

Originally opened in 1977 as Columbia Mall, the mall opened originally with Belk, JCPenney, Rich's and Sears. Current major stores include Dillard's, Macy's, Sears, and Old Navy. Burlington Coat Factory, Columbia Place Stadium Cinemas and Steve & Barry's opened in 2007.

The two-level mall added an 8 unit food court in 1997 and received its first renovation in 2002. Columbia Place was built by Kahn Development Company and the Richard E. Jacobs Group and was purchased by CBL & Associates in 2001.

The road that loops the mall's parking lot is known as Columbia Mall Blvd and is the address for many outlying businesses including McDonald's, Marshall's, Party City, Tire Kingdom, Columbia Place Stadium Cinemas, and Charleston Crab House.

In September of 2007, the mall partnered with NearbyNow, a digital applications company based in California, to offer shoppers a service that allows them to search for items at the mall through their cell phones or home computers.
