Tutu Park Mall is an enclosed mall located in Anna's Retreat on Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
The mall opened on June 3, 1993. It is the first and only indoor mall on Saint Thomas. It is a regional landmark, known locally as "The Mall". Tutu Park Mall not only includes the mall building itself but the surrounded area. It contains over 60 stores, with the last Kmart in the island and The Market serving as anchor stores. Additionally, there is also a food court. Numerous fast food businesses can be found in the area. It also serves as a central gathering point for the local community. Parking is also available. It is located along U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 38. It is centrally located on the island.
Because of its central location, the mall serves as a main transportation hub for VITRAN, the island’s only transit bus system.
History William Mahaffey and John Foster were the principal partners to start the mall. With other investors, they leased the property from the Hartland family. Prior to construction, the site of the mall was the site of an archaeological excavation. In September 1992, construction started and it was opened a year later.
