History

The mall opened in 1974 with original anchors including Sears and Kaufmann's.[3] The Kaufmann's store was the first in the chain to be located in a shopping mall. Goodman Company, a real estate company owned by Murray H. Goodman, built the mall. A 1975 expansion added 25 more stores and a third department store, Ashtabula, Ohio-based Carlisle's.[4] An original tenant, Zales Jewelers, won a design competition in that chain upon opening.[1]

In 2000, the mall was slightly renovated, while also remodeling the Sears and Kaufmann's stores.[5] Walmart opened at the mall in 2002.[6] Sears closed in 2016, followed by Macy's, which acquired the Kaufmann's chain, in 2017.[7]

The Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased Fort Steuben Mall for $10.75 million in December 2018.[8] They would sell it in 2022 to Brookwood Capital Partners.[9]

In early 2022, Brookwood Capital Partners acquired the shopping mall from the previous owners.[10] Despite attracting new businesses to the mall, Brookwood Capital auctioned it off after only one month.[11]
