History

The mall opened in 1973 and was expanded in 1987. When

Mercantile Stores' Glass Block store was acquired by Dillard's, the anchor was then sold to Younkers.[2]

The front facade displays many of the stores along U.S. Highway 53. In 2001, Longtime anchor

DSW Shoe Warehouse, Barnes & Noble and Old Navy,[3]
and the movie theater became Great American Bar & Grill, greatly improving the look of the front façade due to new architectural designs.

In 2007, the front façade and surrounding space in front of the recently vacated

Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and AT&T.[4]

A Culver's restaurant opened outside the mall on May 24, 2010.[5]

Dick's Sporting Goods opened at the mall in September 2013.[6]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Younkers would be closing as parent company

The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[7]

On May 31, 2018, Sears announced that it would be closing its Miller Hill location in September 2018, as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide. This closing left Dick's Sporting Goods and JCPenney as the only traditional anchors at the mall.[8]

Part of the mall's roof collapsed on March 14, 2023, before the mall was due to open for the day. The collapse was presumably due to the weight of snow on the roof. Employees were evacuated, and the mall remained closed for the next several days.[9] No one was injured in the roof collapse.

Movies at the Miller Hill Mall

It began as a

Canal Park, but it was closed shortly after. Grandma's replaced Little Angies with an original concept, The Great American Bar & Grill which closed in 2011.[11] The large sign for the Miller Hill Mall that stands on the edge of U.S Highway 53
was refurbished and repainted after the closure of the movie theater. The space on the sign that formerly displayed what movies were showing is now advertising space for local radio stations.
