Eastern Hills Mall, which opened in 1971, is a shopping mall located at the west border of the Town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, USA. It lies on Transit Road (NYS Route 78), which divides Clarence from the Town of Amherst (Buffalo, NY). The mall is north of the junction of NY-78 with NY-5, Main Street.
The name "Eastern Hills" refers to the very low hills that contribute to a slightly higher elevation than the bordering areas.
Eastern Hills Mall is part of a long commercial strip on Transit Road. It consists of two long wings running north and south and two short wings running east and west, with a major department store at the end of each wing. A food court is located near the end of the long south wing. A three-screen movie theater showing mainly independent films is also located in the mall. There is an extensive parking lot surrounding the entire complex, providing the highest parking ratio of any Buffalo area mall.
Eastern Hills Mall has had two renovations, one in 1986 and another in 2005. The food court was added in the 1986 remodel.

Famous quotes containing the words eastern, hills and/or mall:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“And I would love you all the Day,
Every Night would kiss and play,
If with me you’d fondly stray
Over the Hills and far away.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
