Shelter Cove Towne Centre is a fun place to visit on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It used to be called The Mall at Shelter Cove. This center has a mix of shops, restaurants, and homes. It has two main stores, Belk and Kroger. There's also a park and some apartment buildings.
The Mall's Story
How the Mall Started

The first mall opened in April 1988. It was built by Jim Wilson & Associates. Two big stores, Jordan Marsh and Belk, were the main attractions.
At that time, the mall had over 60 other shops. These included popular stores like Banana Republic, Victoria's Secret, and Express. There were also four restaurants. One favorite was Patti Arbuckle's, which had live music.
Changes Over Time
In 1991, Jordan Marsh closed its doors. JCPenney took its place. But JCPenney also closed in 1996. Then, Saks Fifth Avenue opened there in 1997. Later, in 2004, Saks changed its store to an "Off Fifth" outlet.
Even though Belk made its store bigger in 2007, the Mall at Shelter Cove lost many shops. Stores like Brooks Brothers and Ann Taylor left by the end of the 2000s. In 2008, there were plans to add a movie theater. However, this plan was canceled.
A New Beginning
The "Off Fifth" store moved to a different location in 2011. Soon after, the supermarket chain Kroger bought the mall. In 2012, people heard that the mall would be torn down. Only the Belk store would stay. The plan was to build a new community park and a Kroger grocery store.
The Mall at Shelter Cove closed in January 2013. Demolition started on January 13th. Construction began soon after. The old mall was turned into an outdoor shopping area. The new center has 290,000 square feet (27,000 m2) of shops. It also has a five-acre park for everyone to enjoy.
In December 2013, Kroger opened its new store. This made Kroger the second main store at the center. Other shops like JoS. A. Bank and AT&T also opened locations.
New Homes and More
In March 2015, work started on WaterWalk at Shelter Cove. These are two apartment buildings near Broad Creek. The buildings were planned to have over 200 apartments. They also included a large parking garage.
In February 2017, it was announced that the first apartment building was almost ready. This building has 136 apartments. The second building will have 104 units. The first building opened in May 2017. The second one was expected to open by early 2019.
