Dutch Square is an enclosed shopping mall located in the city of Columbia, South Carolina. Currently, it features more than sixty stores and restaurants, as well as a movie theater. Its anchor stores are Belk (the most successful Belk in Columbia [1]) and Burlington Coat Factory.

When it opened in 1970, the mall was advertised as the "largest mall in the Carolinas".[2] Dutch Square's management company filed for bankruptcy in 1993 after losing several anchors, but the mall experienced a revival when it was purchased by Phillips Edison in 1995.[3]

In 1997, the city of Columbia annexed the mall property, thus bringing the tax revenues into the City.[4] Shortly after this event, the facility underwent a redevelopment by the owner adding 18,000 sq.ft. [5]
