Recent Development
The vacant three-story Boscov's store (formerly Gimbel's and then Kaufmann's) has been converted for use by Target and Dick's Sporting Goods. This allowed Target to enter Pittsburgh's South Hills market where limited land for new development had precluded a new store. It also allowed Dick's Sporting Goods to open a much larger store to replace the small location formerly on the mall periphery. Target operates on an expanded first level of the space with Dick's taking the second and third floors, though the third floor is only accessible from within the Dick's store. Dick's Sporting Goods had its grand opening October 17, 2012 and Target opened March 6, 2013.
