History

One of the original anchor stores was a branch for regional Chappell's, which closed in 1993 when the chain entered bankruptcy.[2] It was remodeled that same year and became The Bon-Ton.[3]

Another anchor store that built on in the mid-1990's was Montgomery Ward, which closed and became Burlington in 2001.

On April 17, 2018 it was announced department store retailer The Bon-Ton would shutter after it wasn't able to establish any new conditions to satisfy its established long-term debt.[4] Potential replacement tenants have been rumored in discussion since 2019.[5]

In 2019, it was announced Hobby Lobby would be replacing Sears which would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its traditional brick-and-mortar format. The store opened in 2020.[6][7]

On May 19, 2021, the Twitter account for the mall posted a tweet claiming to have a playable demo of Splatoon 3. Due to the similarity between the malls name and a gamemode in Splatoon 2 called "Salmon Run", the Tweet gained moderate attention. The tweet was later deleted.

On June 29, 2023, it was announced Christmas Tree Shops would be shuttering all locations after it wasn't able to satisfy their long-term established debt due to recent ongoing supply chain shortages.[8]
