History

Fashion Place was opened in 1972 including Auerbach's (later Nordstrom) and Sears as its anchors.[2] It also included Castleton's (later ZCMI, then Meier & Frank,[3] now Macy's) and The Broadway (later Weinstock's), which became Utah's first Dillard's in 1993.[4] An expansion begun in 2007 added an outdoor lifestyle center section, plus a new location for Nordstrom.[5] Further expansion in 2011 added the first locations in Utah for both Crate & Barrel and H&M.

Sears announced in 2013 that it closed the Fashion Place store and the building was demolished and replaced with a new Dillard's in 2015.[6] The old building would later be demolished in 2016. The closure of the Macy's store, one of the smallest in the chain, was announced in January 2014.[7] By year's end, the former Macy's became The Container Store, the first in Utah.[8] Macy's returned to the Fashion Place Mall in early March 2017, located in the old Dillard's space.

Fashion Place has a history of welcoming first-to-Utah brands. The mall is currently home to Utah's only Zara, Crate & Barrel, Urban Outfitters, The Container Store, and Abercrombie Kids locations.

On January 13, 2019, at about 1:30pm, a gang-related shooting injured two members,[9] one in critical condition. Five men were charged in connection with the shooting,[10] with several wanted suspects still at large. Two Florencia 13 members, males aged 19 and 20, were charged in the attack.[11] The entire mall was evacuated by police shortly after the shooting, and reopened Monday to the public.[12]
