New Stores, Restaurants Coming to SHV

Two new stores and a new restaurant will open in South Hills Village this spring, according to mall officials.

Francesca’s Collections will open on the lower level and specializes in fashion-forward women’s styles with clothing, jewelry, accessories and unique gifts for any age.  

Bare Escentuals sells mineral-based makeup that is beneficial to skin. It will also open on the lower level of the mall.

Saga Hibachi Steakhouse and Sushi Bar offers customers a front-row seat to the knife-wielding skill and showmanship of its specially-trained chefs while they select from an extensive menu of contemporary Japanese cuisine. It will be located on the upper level, Macy’s end of the mall. 

“This year promises to be an exciting one for South Hills Village,” said Jennifer Carroll, South Hills Village marketing director. “We can’t wait to show our shoppers what is to come, stay tuned!”

Meanwhile, there are also plans for a Bonefish Grill to be built near the new Target at South Hills Village.

Representatives for the restaurant chain presented to the Upper St. Clair Planning Commission Thursday night. They hope to open the restaurant by October or November, which they said is an aggressive schedule.

Bonefish Grill is a seafood restaurant chain that started in Florida. It is owned by the Tampa-based OSI Restaurant Partners, which also owns the Outback Steakhouse franchises.

Representatives hope to also receive approval from the township to have outdoor dining on a patio.
