Westgate Mall is a shopping mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina, off Interstate 26 and US Highway 29 on West Blackstock Road in the city's primary shopping market. The regional mall has 954,302 square feet (88,657.6 m2) of retail space and seven anchor stores: Bed Bath & Beyond, Belk, Costco, Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's, J. C. Penney, and Sears.
Westgate Mall was built by Arlen Realty and Development Corporation, and opened on October 28, 1975. At the time, it was the largest mall in South Carolina. Its original anchor stores were Belk-Hudson, Sears, and Meyers-Arnold.J. C. Penney was added in 1978. It was sold to JMB Realty in the late 1970s, then to Bramalea Centers in 1988. Meyers-Arnold was bought out by Uptons in 1987, thus canceling the latter chain's plans to build a store at nearby Hillcrest Mall.
After Bramalea filed for bankruptcy in 1992, the mall was purchased by CBL & Associates Properties, a successor of Arlen Realty. CBL expanded the mall, adding a new wing that featured Dillard's and J. B. White, as well as a food court and movie theater owned by Regal Entertainment Group. Storefronts within the mall were also upgraded, and the Belk store was expanded by 30,000 square feet. These expansions made the mall the first in the Carolinas to feature six anchors. J. B. White's store became Proffitt's in 1998.
