History edit
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.[citation needed]
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]
