The store closed over the weekend, becoming the latest anchor to shutter. \u201cWe&#8217;re disappointed,\u201d said Jack Eaton of Oakmont. \u201cWe shopped there a lot, and there\u2019s a lot of other people that are disappointed too because of that.&#8221;Macy\u2019s exit leaves shoppers like Jack and Sharon Eaton with limited options inside the once thriving mall, which opened in 2005. \u201cI don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;m going to shop now if they&#8217;re closing everything,\u201d Sharon told Pittsburgh\u2019s Action News 4 Reporter Jordan Cioppa. Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods shut its doors at Pittsburgh Mills in June 2025. &#8220;It was booming at the beginning, you know, years ago. All of these good companies, they were here. So, I don&#8217;t know what happened,\u201d said Darius Saghafi, who visited the mall Wednesday. Allegheny County property records indicate an LLC associated with Namdar Realty Group purchased the Macy\u2019s building in January for $2 million. Namdar owns the Pittsburgh Mills and has been quietly looking for a buyer, according to an email sent to local realtors last year. \u201cI believe the land itself could be utilized for housing. Also, I think what they call a retail demand gap analysis should be done on the area to see what people want dollar-wise and what\u2019s being spent,\u201d said Marvin Birner, a commercial real estate agent for Coldwell Banker.Birner said he is concerned that Namdar\u2019s recent legal troubles could impact a potential sale in the future. Bill Payne, a Frazer Township building code official, told Pittsburgh\u2019s Action News 4 that the mall owner has been hit with 32 citations related to the potholes around the property. He said a court hearing was rescheduled for May 4 since a Namdar representative did not attend a hearing in April. While shoppers are left wondering what\u2019s next for the mall, some agree that the road conditions need to take precedence. \u201cMy first suggestion would be, before they get anybody in the mall to improve anything, improve the roads first. That might help eventually bring some people back,\u201d Jack said.
