History and stores
Short Pump Town Center is a two-level, open-air retail center composed of upscale stores. It was opened on September 4, 2003 and has over 140 stores. The center is owned and operated by Queensland Investment Corporation.In 2004, Circuit City opened outside the mall. After Circuit City went out of business in 2009, it was replaced by hhgregg. Hhgregg closed for good in 2017. This space is now occupied by Arhaus and The Container Store.
Anchor stores are Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's, and Macy's. The mall was also intended to have a Lord & Taylor as an additional anchor, until they pulled out from that plan after being repositioned.
On May 7, 2020, Nordstrom announced that they would be closing their location at the mall as part of a national downsizing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 16, 2025, it was announced that the former Nordstrom store would be replaced by a Dick's Sporting Goods experimental location, House of Sport, which features sports amenities like batting cages and climbing walls.
Surrounding area
Surrounding the mall, there are several strip malls, other stores, and restaurants within walking or short driving distance. These are on the Town Center property, however they are not a part of the mall itself. They are listed on the mall's store directory despite not being attached to the mall itself.Rivalry with Stony Point
Following a disagreement with Taubman Centers on a possible mall development project, Stony Point Fashion Park was developed as a direct competitor and opened in 2003 in the same month as Short Pump Town Center. It is smaller but of the same upscale style as Short Pump Town Center. The mall was opened on September 17, 2003.[Image:ShortPumpTC.JPG|thumb|The Mall's Central Courtyard]
