History
editThe shopping center was constructed in 1970 on the southwest corner of the I-215 belt route and West 3500 South (Utah State Route 171 in the Salt Lake Valley.[1] Valley Fair Mall hosts approximately 120 in-line shops, a 13-bay, 450-seat food court, 15-screen Megaplex movie theater.
In 2005 Satterfield Helm Management, Inc. of Sandy, Utah purchased the mall and in 2006 announced plans for a renovation of the center.[2] A new Costco store opened in 2007 as the first part of a four-phase redevelopment.[3] Phase II of the redevelopment was completed in June 2010.
Macy's, formerly ZCMI and Meier & Frank, closed in 2016 and became All Star Bowling & Entertainment and Hobby Lobby in 2019.[4]
On January 21, 2020, it was announced that Bed Bath & Beyond would be closing as part of a plan to close 40 stores nationwide.[5]
On May 8, 2023, a shooting occurred at the mall. Police reported that a 25-year-old man suffered a non-life-threatening injury from a gunshot wound to his hip.[6] The incident took place in front of a store near 3601 S. 2700 West.[7] Three suspects left the mall immediately after the shooting and were arrested at a TRAX station across from the mall.[8] Approximately 20 minutes after the shooting, three "juvenile male" suspects were taken into police custody[6] and a handgun was recovered.[8]
