A Review of Pittsburgh's South Hills Village Shopping

If you live in the greater Pittsburgh area, especially Upper St Clair, Bethel Park and surrounding communities, you know about South Hills Village mall. It's located at the corner of Fort Couch Road and Route 19 - Washington Road. It's easy to find, and easily accessible by the T. South Hills Village is a Simon-owned mall.

Features of South Hills Village include 3 main department stores - Macy's, Sears and Boscov's, over 130 specialty stores, a large food court with 14 different food places and a 10 screen movie theatre.

Some of my favorite stores include Kirkland's, Yankee Candle, Pittsburgh Steelers Sideline Store, Brookstone, Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works and Express.

Kirkland's is a home store, with all kinds of home furnishings including candles, mirrors, artwork, rugs, lamps and more. You can also find some great gifts and holiday home accents. Kirkland's prices are also very reasonable, and they always have sales going on.

Brookstone is a unique store in the mall, with items you can try out right in the store. They sell back massagers, massaging chairs, and other personal care items.

Pittsburgh Steelers Sideline Store is a store all about Steelers football! You can find just about anything Steelers related here. It's addicting to shop there if you are a Steelers fan, you could buy one of everything in there!

Along with the store, South Hills Village has a great food court with a variety of different food places for you to choose from - everything from Mrs. Field's Cookies to Flamer's Charbroiled Hamburgers and Chicken. They have something there for everybody, no matter what your taste is. You can also find various food stops throughout the mall, such as Auntie Anne's Pretzels and Gloria Jean's Coffee.

There are also stores outside of the mall, a few steps from the mall entrances. You can find Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's Furniture Gallery, and Sears Auto Center right outside of the top level Macy's entrance near Sears. On the other side of the mall, near the Macy's entrance and Food Court entrance, you'll find Eat n Park, Carmike Cinemas, Barnes and Noble and The Roxy Café (which is also accessible from the food court inside).

Across the street from South Hills Village, you'll find Village Square. There are many other stores and restaurants, including The Home Depot, Kohl's, Giant Eagle, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Michael's, Babies R Us, Half Price Books, Bally Total Fitness, Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, Famous Footwear, Office Depot, Burlington Coat Factory, Parkvale Bank as well as many doctors' and dentists' offices.
