History
Homart Development Company built Newgate Mall in 1981. Its original anchor stores were Sears and Mervyn's. Among its tenants was the first Chick-fil-A in Utah.[2] Phar-Mor was added in February 1992,[3] but closed only seven months later.[4]
In 1994, Dillard's opened its second Utah store at the mall.[5] Between then and 1995, over 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of retail space was added, including Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant, Bath & Body Works, Express, Inc., Famous Footwear, B. Dalton, and Applebee's.[6] Another new tenant in this timespan was a larger location for Quilted Bear, a consignment shop that had previously occupied a smaller store within.[7]
A year later, the former Phar-Mor became the first Oshman's in Utah.[8] The store became Gart Sports in 2001,[9] Sports Authority in 2006, and DownEast Home & Clothing in 2016.[10] A 14 screen Cinemark "Tinseltown USA" movie theater was opened in 1998 to replace the mall's aging 4 screen cinema.[11] Although Newgate Mall initially struggled with high vacancy, the mall's occupancy was boosted in the 2000s, particularly after Ogden City Mall (now The Junction) closed.[12] Mervyn's closed in 2008 and became Burlington Coat Factory in 2013.[13] Sears closed in April 2018.[14]
