North Hills Mall was built in 1979 at 7624 Grapevine Hwy (SH 26) in North Richland Hills, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth with its grand opening on 12 September 1979. The mall flourished and co-existed with nearby North East Mall until the latter expanded in 1999. The reconstruction process of the Interstate 820/Airport Freeway junction limited access to the mall, also contributing to its demise.
