New Stores Bring New Jobs To Ross Park Mall

Nordstrom at Ross Park Mall

On the heels of our region’s first Nordstrom department store locating in Ross Park Mall, 3 new stores are also moving in with the hopes of capturing the attentions of more upscale shoppers.

Sportswear retailer Lacoste, shoe retailer Johnston & Murphy and designer sunglasses retailer Ilori Boutique are all moving in to the mall soon.

Simon Property Group, which owns Ross Park Mall, is planning to redesign many of the common areas of the mall with new furniture and fixtures to better appeal to the wave of upscale shoppers these stores promise to attract.

This signals good news all the way around for the mall and our region. It brings new jobs and additional tax revenues, as well as indicates that at least some shoppers in Pittsburgh are still willing and able to purchase higher ticket items at a time when other regions are seeing more upscale stores leaving than opening.
