Tacoma Mall hours (and what to expect on holidays)
Under normal operation, Tacoma Mall keeps consistent week-round hours: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. Those are the mall’s common-area hours — individual anchor stores and restaurants often set their own schedules. Nordstrom, Macy’s, The Cheesecake Factory and BJ’s, in particular, frequently open earlier or close later than the mall corridors, so check the specific retailer if your trip hinges on one store.
Holiday hours shift every year and are the single most common reason locals get caught at a locked door. As a rule of thumb, Tacoma Mall closes entirely on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, opens early on Black Friday, and runs shortened hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Extended evening hours generally kick in across November and December for the holiday shopping season, and the mall also posts special hours for dates like the Fourth of July. Because the exact dated schedule is set fresh each year, do not treat any printed holiday time as gospel — pull the current schedule from the official hours page (check live) in the days before a holiday.
Store directory, new stores and the Village at Tacoma Mall
Tacoma Mall’s tenant mix runs well past 150 stores, headlined by anchors Nordstrom, Macy’s, JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The roster spans apparel (Lululemon, H&M, UNIQLO, Bath & Body Works), beauty (Sephora), electronics (Apple), and family favorites like Build-A-Bear Workshop. The footprint has been evolving: the former Sears anchor was demolished, and Simon has since opened the Village at Tacoma Mall, an outward-facing retail and dining expansion. New tenants already open include Shake Shack, Dave’s Hot Chicken and Lovesac, with more on the way — a development worth watching if you track South Sound commercial real estate.
Because openings, relocations and closures happen continuously, the store directory is volatile data we deliberately don’t freeze on this page. For the authoritative, current list — including suite numbers and store-level hours — use the official Simon store directory (check live). It’s the same source the mall’s own kiosks pull from.
Dining and the food court
Tacoma Mall covers the full spectrum from a quick bite to a sit-down dinner. Full-service restaurants include The Cheesecake Factory, BJ’s Brewhouse, Texas de Brazil (a Brazilian churrascaria), Woobling Korean BBQ and Kura Revolving Sushi. For faster meals, you’ll find Mix Poke Bar, Panera Bread and Sbarro, plus the newly opened Village additions Shake Shack and Dave’s Hot Chicken, with Supreme Dumplings, Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Simply Thai and Gong Cha announced as coming soon. Menus and tenants change, so confirm what’s open via the official Simon dining directory (check live).
Parking, directions and public transit
Driving is the easy default: the mall offers acres of free surface parking ringing every entrance. From southbound I-5, take exit 132-A onto 38th Street, turn left on Steele Street, and the mall is straight ahead. From northbound I-5, take exit 130 to South 56th Street, turn right onto Tacoma Mall Boulevard, and the mall is on your left just past 47th Street.
If you’d rather not drive, the mall is well served by transit. The Tacoma Mall Transit Center is a hub for Pierce Transit routes (including the 1, 3 and the 52–57 group of routes that begin or end there), making it one of the more transit-accessible retail destinations in Pierce County. Regional riders can take Sound Transit’s Sounder commuter rail to Tacoma Dome Station or South Tacoma Station and connect by bus. For the broader visitor context — lodging, events and nearby attractions — Pierce County’s tourism office maintains a Tacoma Mall listing.
Mall jobs and hiring
Tacoma Mall is a major Pierce County employer, and individual retailers hire year-round — with a heavy seasonal push from October through December. Stores that regularly post openings include Nordstrom, JCPenney, Bath & Body Works, Build-A-Bear Workshop, UNIQLO and Sephora, along with the new Village at Tacoma Mall tenants. Hiring is handled store-by-store, not through a single mall HR desk, so the fastest path is the official aggregator. Browse current openings on the Simon retailer careers page (check live), then apply online or in person at the store of your choice.
