In March 2006, Nordstrom announced plans to build a new store on the Horne's/Lazarus/Macy's site, after tearing down the building and an adjacent two-level parking structure. However, Media Play closed in 2006, and it replaced by Forever 21. Now Federated owned two anchors in the same mall, operating under different names. Four months later, Federated purchased the May Department Stores Company, which operated the Kaufmann's anchor store at the south end of the mall. The store operated as Lazarus until Federated renamed it as Macy's in March 2005. Service Merchandise closed March 15, 1999, and it replaced with Media Play of the same year in Thanksgiving 1999. It operated as Horne's from 1987 to 1994, when Federated Department Stores purchased the Horne's chain and rebranded its stores with its own regional Lazarus name. It was intended to be a Gimbels but was never occupied because the Gimbels chain was sold and liquidated a year after the mall opened, resulting in a vacant anchor at the time. The Nordstrom location has a complicated history. Today, that location houses Giant Eagle, Dunham's Sports, and Stein Mart. Kaufmann's was the third largest of Pittsburgh's chains, and its store moved in from a standalone location about a mile north on McKnight Road. Horne's was the second largest of Pittsburgh's department store chains, and this store had been the anchor of nearby Northway Mall the two locations coexisted for about a year after the move. When the mall was originally built, a Horne's store occupied the present Nordstrom location and a Kaufmann's was in the present Macy's spot. Crate & Barrel and L.L.Bean anchor the lifestyle addition on the southwestern part of the mall property. The mall's present anchor tenants include JCPenney to the east, Macy's to the south, and Nordstrom to the northwest with one vacant anchor to the north last occupied by Sears that is yet to be redeveloped. With 170 stores, Ross Park Mall is currently the sixth largest shopping mall in Pennsylvania. An outdoor lifestyle component complements the enclosed center. The mall houses 170 retailers including anchor stores Nordstrom, Macy's, and JCPenney. Ross Park Mall is a shopping mall located in Ross Township, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh.
