Northwoods Mall North Charleston

Northwoods Mall was the first regional indoor shopping mall constructed in the Charleston, South Carolina metropolitan area and featured Belk, Sears, and the locally owned Kerrison’s department stores as its original anchor tenants. The mall underwent a significant expansion and renovation in 1985 and Thalhimer’s was added as an anchor tenant, with Kerrison’s demolished and replaced by JCPenney. Thalhimer’s was later sold to Dillard’s in 1992 and expanded in 2004. The mall was purchased by Jacobs, Visconti & Jacobs (later known as the Richard E. Jacobs group) in 1984, owners and developers of Charleston’s Citadel Mall, and later sold to current owners CBL & Associates Properties who again remodeled the mall in 2004. The mall concourses and four of the department stores are one level in design, with JCPenney as the only two level store.
