Announced on June 28, 1987 and completed in 1988, it is situated nearly 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh along Interstate 376 (Parkway West) and Route 60.

Robinson Town Centre was built in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Its first tenants included a Hills discount store, Children's Palace toy store, a Dahlkemper's catalog showroom, Sears appliances, Phar-Mor drug/discount store, Pappan's Family Restaurant, Sun TV, OfficeMax, among other small retail stores. Marshalls, JoAnn Fabrics, and TJ Maxx are among the original tenants to still exist at the centre.

This development also made way for the first IKEA store within a six-hour distance.
