Maple Hill Pavilion (formerly Maple Hill Mall) is a strip mall serving the city of Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. Maple Hill Mall became a "dead mall" after several years of decline and the loss of several major tenants. The center has since been re-developed as a strip mall called Maple Hill Pavilion which features DSW Shoe Warehouse, Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, PetSmart, Pier One Imports, Office Max, Rooms Today and Target as its anchor stores. Maple Hill Pavilion is managed by Devonshire REIT.
Maple Hill Mall opened in 1971 on West Main Street (M-43) on the northwestern side of Kalamazoo. Originally anchoring the mall were Montgomery Ward, as well as three local department stores: Grand Rapids-based Steketee's and Wurzburg's, as well as Kalamazoo-based Gilmore Brothers. A combination Turn Style/Jewel Food Stores was located next to Wurzburg's, but was detached from the mall. Wurzburg's closed in the 1970s and was converted to mall space. The west end of the building contained the High Wheeler Ice Cream Parlor, located near Meijer Square.
In the mid-1980s, Turn Style closed and was replaced with Meijer Square, a failed concept store of Grand Rapids-based superstore chain Meijer, as well as the only Meijer store to be located in an enclosed mall. Meijer Square was strictly a discount department store, lacking the full-line grocery section normally found at Meijer stores.
