In the early 1980s, a proposal for a two-story indoor mall in Poughkeepsie, New York was submitted. The mall opened on August 1, 1987 as the Poughkeepsie Galleria Mall.
Upon opening, the mall had five anchor stores: G. Fox & Co., Jordan Marsh, Lechmere, Filene's, and JCPenney.[4] Due to underperformance, the Filene's store closed in 1989 and was replaced with Steinbach, which relocated from South Hills Mall next door.[5]Sears also announced plans to relocate from South Hills Plaza at the same time.[6] Steinbach closed in 1995 and became Dick's Sporting Goods and DSW Shoe Warehouse the same year.[7] Filene's returned to the mall in 1993 by taking over the defunct G. Fox chain, while Sears ultimately opened at the mall after Jordan Marsh was vacated.[8]Montgomery Ward also moved into the mall in the early 1990s, becoming the sixth anchor and replacing an existing store in Poughkeepsie.[9]
In 2004, both DSW and Dick's moved to new locations vacated by Montgomery Ward, while the former Filene's and Lechmere building was converted to Best Buy and Target.[10]
During January 2005, the mall announced it would enact and begin enforcing the Pyramid Companies' "MB-18" teenage curfew policy beginning in September 2005, following a large fight involving young teenagers in front of what was then Filene's. Due to the size of the incident, local police were called, and several arrests were made. Filene's was converted to Macy's in 2006.
On February 8, 2020, It was announced Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate their traditional brick-and-mortar format.[11]
On June 23, 2020, JCPenney announced that they would also close their location at the Poughkeepsie Galleria.[12] In 2021, the vacant store was used a COVID-19 vaccine distribution site.[13]
In October 2022, the Poughkeepsie Galleria has announced newest additions: 110 Grill, The Village Pancake Factory, and Windsor.[14]
