Crestwood Village

The Crestwood Shopping Center is a neighborhood shopping center located on the northwest corner of the intersection between Crestwood Boulevard and 56th Street South in Crestwood. It was developed by the Jackson Securities and Investment Company as part of their 200-acre post-war Crestwood residential community.

The shopping center itself opened on June 27, 1957 with a 10,000 square foot Western Supermarket, Utopia Custom Cleaners and Elliott Drugs as the first tenants. Other original tenants included a service station, hardware store, bakery, and shoe repair shop.
