Western Hills Mall is a shopping mall in metro Birmingham, Alabama.
The mall opened in 1969 as the second in Birmingham,[2] under the development of Aronov Realty.[3] Loveman's of Alabama, which became Pizitz in 1980, was one of its original anchor stores.[2] Pizitz later became McRae's, then Parisian. J.C. Penney 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 J.C. Penney location was demolished, with the mall building being truncated at the former Penney entrance. A new Wal-Mart 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]
