[edit] History
The mall was developed by The Pyramid Companies and opened in 1976. There was widespread community opposition to its development.[1][2] Originally called Pyramid Mall Ithaca, the mall was renamed The Shops at Ithaca Mall in 2009 under new management.[3] The mall has undergone significant changes since it opening, with all four original anchor stores (JW Rhodes, JCPenney, Montgomery Ward, and Hills) replaced by Sears, Target, and Bon-Ton.[4] The most recent major renovation at the mall is a new, relocated Regal Cinemas.[5]
[edit] Stores
Anchored by Sears, Target, and Bon-Ton, the center also hosts national retailers such as Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Old Navy, Gap, Foot Locker, American Eagle, Radio Shack, Verizon, Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, Kay Jewelers, and Regal Cinemas. A recent addition to the mall is Planet Fitness.
A relocated Regal Cinemas with 14 screens with stadium seating theater with digital surround sound was opened in 2007 in the former location of Ames Department Stores.[5]
There is also a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals annex for animal adoption. The annex has a "Kid's Corner" with picture books, stuffed animals, and adoptable cats and kittens. It also provides Pre-School Story Hour and Craft free to the public.[6][7]
