Hay Creek Shops is an outdoor “power mall” located in north Bismarck. It was the city’s largest development since Pinehurst Square, bringing several new national and regional retailers to the region.
Gordman’s was the center’s first tenant announced, in 2013. After delays, including a loan default, Phase 1 of the center opened in 2015. Phase 2 opened in 2016, with such additions as Ross Dress For Less and Kirkland’s.
Most of the tenants were newcomers to the market. Some, including Famous Footwear, Maurices, Classy Nails, Mattress Firm, Dollar Tree, and Erbert’s & Gerbert’s already maintained Bismarck locations.
In 2019, Pizza Ranch announced plans to open at Hay Creek Shops, complimenting its long-time Mandan restaurant.
Gordman’s shuttered in 2020 due to company-wide bankruptcy. Bed, Bath, & Beyond fell to a similar fate in spring 2023. Erbert & Gerbert’s closed in early 2024. Other closings have included Rue21 and Famous Footwear.
Home Goods and corporate sibling Sierra opened October 2024, filling the vacated Gordman’s space.
