History

The mall opened in 1991 with Herberger's, Target and JCPenney.[3] Scheels All Sports was added in 1993[4] and relocated in 2006.[5] A health clinic opened at the mall in 2007.[6] Barnes & Noble moved from an existing store nearby in 2008,[7] replacing the original Scheels location. Sears closed in early 2017 and the building is currently vacant. With the announcement of Herbergers parent company, The Bon Ton being bought out by liquidators, Herberger's closed in mid 2018 and the building is currently vacant. River Hills Mall was sold to the Kohan Retail Investment Group in 2021 for $29.4 million.[1][8]

PetSmart opened outside the mall on January 5, 2018.[9]
