History
The mall opened in 1978 as the second mall in Hickory, the first being Catawba Mall (now Catawba Furniture Mall). Its two anchors at the time were Belk Broome and Sears. A 1988 expansion relocated J. C. Penney from Catawba Mall to Valley Hills Mall. A food court was located near Sears on the lower level. The mall was renovated in 1999 adding a fourth anchor, Dillard's, and a new, larger food court on the upper level.
