Crestwood Court
United States
Crestwood Court (formerly Westfield Shoppingtown Crestwood and Crestwood Plaza) was a shopping mall in Crestwood, Missouri. Opened in 1957, it was the first major mall in the St. Louis area, and one of the first to have more than one department store. The mall previously included Macy's, Dillard's, and Sears as anchor stores, all three of which were vacant before demolition began in May 2016. Demolition was finished in October 2017. A Dierbergs opened at the site of the demolished mall in March 2023. Decline was first noticeable in the early 2000s, but took off seriously in 2006, when many stores started to close. The announcement the Dillard's would close in August 2007 was critical, because it was the most popular store. Two years later, Macy's closed, which was considered the ultimate dagger. It was by then assumed that Crestwood Mall was not going to be around much longer, and that became official in September 2013, when the exterior LensCrafters closed.
