History

The mall was built in 1973 by Rubin Organization. Its original anchor stores were Bradlees, Gaudio's, Pathmark, and Wilmington Dry Goods. Gaudio's became JCPenney, Pathmark became Toys "R" Us, and Wilmington Dry Goods became Value City and is now Burlington Coat Factory. Despite the addition of these anchor stores, the mall's occupancy declined in the 1990s. A mall-wide renovation at the end of the decade added Boscov's and expanded JCPenney while reconfiguring the main mall concourse. The former Bradlees was subdivided, and The Home Depot and Regal Cinemas were added on outparcels in 1998.
In 2003, BJ's Wholesale Club opened in the mall's surrounding area, followed by Best Buy in 2006. After Value City went out of business in 2009, its space became Burlington Coat Factory. Ulta was added in 2013. In January 2015, it was announced the JCPenney store was closing as part of a plan to close 39 underperforming stores nationwide.
In 2018 it was announced that the Bed Bath and Beyond store which had been a tenant at the mall since 2002 was going to close due to leasing issues.
