How many malls are still open around the St. Louis area?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:23:41 GMT

ST. LOUIS - One of the St. Louis region's oldest-standing shopping malls, South County Center, celebrates its 60th anniversary this weekend. To reach that point is a remarkable achievement. Traditional shopping malls have embraced uncertainty in the 21st century with the rise of online shopping and changes in consumer preferences. Forbes estimates that the United States was home to around 2,500 US shopping malls during their peak popularity in the 1980s. As of 2023, that number has dwindled down to 700. Some industry experts believe another 100-200 shopping malls will close for good over the next decade. The Greater St. Louis Area has said goodbye to several malls over the last decade-plus, but a select few within Missouri and Illinois are still thriving. For those still in business, location, trendy goods and community engagement are essential. How many malls are still open around the St. Louis metropolitan area?
