In the 70s we had a “small mall.” A real mall (indoors, food court) but only 1 department store anchor and 1 supermarket. In the 90s it got “de-malled” into a regular shopping center. 2015 the Bon-Ton closed. Radio Shack closed. The CVS moved to a bigger stand-alone store. Last summer the supermarket closed. The only store left is Ollie’s. The center is now being turned into an industrial park and we don’t know what’s happening to Ollie’s.
