The Shops at South Town, formerly South Towne Center, is a shopping mall in Sandy, Utah, United States, located just east of Interstate 15 on State Street. The property, built in 1986, contains 1,300,000 square feet (120,000 m2) of retail space with 150 stores and restaurants. It has five anchor spaces with a plot for sixth that has never been built. The anchor stores are Round 1 Entertainment, HomeGoods, and JCPenney. There are two vacant anchor stores that were Forever 21 and Macy's. The mall opened in 1986 with a single anchor being ZCMI (later Meier & Frank then Macy's). JCPenney opened in 1992. Mervyns (later Forever 21) was added in 1994. A Montgomery Ward Specialty Store was planned to open 1995 but fell through and became Dillard's which opened in 1997. A large Cineplex Odeon cinema opened in 1990 as the largest cinema in the state at the time with 2,350 seats spread across 10-screens. It closed in February 2001 as part of Loews Cineplex Entertainment bankruptcy. The building was gutted in 2002 now housing a REI sports store and Momentum Indoor Climbing. The mall underwent the first phase of an interior and exterior remodel from 2015 to 2017, and was officially unveiled on February 14, 2017. Phase 2 is currently underway. The redevelopment is part of Sandy's 1,100-acre (4,500,000 m2) city center development project, The Cairns.In early 2013, former management company Macerich announced that they put the mall up for sale and had several interested buyers. It has since been purchased and, as of February 2017, is currently managed by Pacific Retail.In May 2017, it was announced that a Round One Entertainment location (now open) would be coming to the mall in August 2018 as part of the mall's ongoing renovation. Other renovations in the second phase of redevelopment include remodeling the former Dillard's space; extending the concourse to include Round 1 Entertainment, and HomeGoods along with other shops; remodeling an atrium and adding skylights; additional lounge seating, digital kiosks, and exterior glazing; and a new play area for children. In October 2019, following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Forever 21, it was announced that the South Town location would close by the end of the year unless agreements were made with the landlord. The location closed the following January. On January 6, 2021, it was announced that Macy's would close in mid-2021 as part of a plan to close 46 nationwide. After Macy's closed, JCPenney is the only traditional anchor store left.

Hale Center Theatre
Hale Center Theatre

Hale Centre Theatre is a theatre company headquartered in Sandy, Utah. Their mission statement is “enriching lives through world-class theatre.” In 1985, Ruth and Nathan Hale partnered with their daughter, Sally Hale Rice, and their oldest grandson, Mark Dietlein and his wife (also Sally) to start a theatre in Utah. They converted an old lingerie factory in South Salt Lake to a theatre-in-the-round with 220 seats. After a couple of expansions, they moved into a new facility in West Valley City in 1998. After selling out all 613 seats at Harman Hall on a regular basis, a new partnership was formed with Sandy City in 2017 as they opened the new home of Hale Centre Theatre at the Mountain America Performing Arts Centre. Hale Centre Theatre provides traditional play and musical theatre productions on two state-of-the-art stages under one roof in Sandy City. The smaller Sorenson Legacy Jewel Box Stage seats 467 people; the larger Young Living Centre Stage seats 911. The Theatre has a total of 130,000 square feet and is the only professional theatre venue between Salt Lake City, a half hour to the north, and St. George, four hours to the south. It is considered to be a cultural highlight of downtown Sandy. Hale Centre Theatre provides learning opportunities for students and individuals interested in a career in acting, production, lighting, sound, and composition. One way they give back to the community is by providing complimentary tickets to area schools around Utah to promote wholesome, exceptional theatre experiences for the rising generation. The success of this outreach has earned Hale Centre Theatre a loyal fan base of people of all ages.
