Overview
Red Cliffs Mall is an enclosed shopping center in St. George, Utah, United States. The mall opened in 1990 on Red Cliffs Drive beside Interstate 15 and is positioned as the principal major indoor shopping destination in the broad corridor between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Utah's Wasatch Front. Its location gives it a regional role beyond the immediate St. George area, although the available reference material does not specify a formal trade-area population or sales figures. The center began with JCPenney, ZCMI, and Walmart as its original anchor tenants. Sears joined the property in 1998, adding another traditional department-store anchor during the period when enclosed malls remained a central format for general merchandise and apparel shopping. The tenant mix subsequently changed as department-store strategies and the local retail landscape evolved. Dillard's assumed the former ZCMI location in April 2001 and later moved into the space vacated by Walmart after Walmart left the mall in 2002 to open a new supercenter. Barnes & Noble entered the former ZCMI space in 2008, adding a large-format books and media retailer to the center's offer. The mall also developed entertainment and specialty-retail components. A four-screen Red Cliffs Cinemas opened on an outparcel in November 1995. The theater closed in 2016 and the building was demolished in 2023. Sears remained at the mall until closing in 2017. In the late 2010s, Red Cliffs Mall added contemporary national apparel retail when H&M opened a large store in fall 2018. The former Sears space was subsequently reused by AL's Sporting Goods, which opened in 2023. More recent additions include Sixteen Apparel in 2024 and Not Enough Nelsons sweets and donuts shop in 2025. As described in the available reference material, the mall features Dillard's, JCPenney, Barnes & Noble, AL's Sporting Goods, and H&M as anchor or major destination tenants, alongside more than 60 other major retailers. The property is managed by Brookfield Properties. Red Cliffs Mall's identity is therefore based less on a standalone merchandise label than on its role as a regional retail and services destination, combining department stores, specialty apparel, books, sporting goods, food, and other consumer offerings under one shopping-center brand. Ownership details, exact floor area, tenant counts beyond the cited description, and current executive leadership are not established by the supplied sources.
History
Red Cliffs Mall opened in 1990 in St. George, Utah, on Red Cliffs Drive near Interstate 15. Its location placed it within a major highway corridor and made it a significant indoor retail destination for southwestern Utah and nearby communities. The mall's initial anchor lineup consisted of JCPenney, ZCMI, and Walmart, reflecting the department-store-centered format common to large enclosed shopping centers at the time. The property added Sears in 1998, broadening its department-store presence. Entertainment became part of the complex in November 1995, when a four-screen Red Cliffs Cinemas opened on an outparcel. The cinema later closed in 2016, and its former building was demolished in 2023. The mall's anchor configuration changed substantially in the early 2000s. In April 2001, Dillard's took over the former ZCMI location. Walmart subsequently left the enclosed mall in 2002 to move to a new supercenter, and Dillard's relocated into the former Walmart space. Barnes & Noble opened in 2008 in the former ZCMI space, converting that location into a large bookstore destination. Sears closed in 2017, ending another long-running anchor tenancy. Red Cliffs Mall continued to refresh its tenant mix with newer specialty retailers. H&M opened a large store in fall 2018. After Sears's departure, AL's Sporting Goods opened in the former Sears space in 2023. Sixteen Apparel followed in 2024, and Not Enough Nelsons opened a sweets and donuts shop in 2025. The mall is described as having more than 60 major retailers, with Dillard's, JCPenney, Barnes & Noble, AL's Sporting Goods, and H&M among its principal destination tenants. Brookfield Properties manages the mall. The supplied references do not identify the original developer, legal owner, exact size, or individual managers and executives.
