Cressona Mall is a shopping mall in Pottsville, Pennsylvania off Route 61 and Route 183.[1]

History

Laneco had plans to open a store at the mall in early 1982, using the former Grant's space.[8] The Cressona Mall in 2007-2008 received exterior renovations.[2] Alvernia University opened a satellite campus in 2009, using former office and store space.[9][10][11] CVS Pharmacy moved out of the mall in October 2010.[12] Goodwill opened in February 2014, using the former CVS Pharmacy space.[13] In February 2015, the primary sprinkler water pipe broke during cold weather.[14]

Due to an unpaid court judgement over the renovations, Wells Fargo foreclosed on the mall in 2015.[15][16] Cressona Associates, the malls owners, owed $8,797,305.81 on the original $9.9 million mortgage. The malls manager and Dack Realty, who managed the mall, both left before the property's auction.[17] Cressona Mall was sold on October 15, 2015 at a United States Marshals auction for $9,281,842.21 to Wells Fargo.[18][19][20][21] JPMCC 2005-CIBC13 Route 61 South Limited Partnership was listed as the owner under Wells Fargo.[3][18] Planet Fitness opened in November 2016; negotiations to be located at the mall took over a year.[3][22] Goodwill completed an expansion in February 2017.[23]

Cinderella's Closet opened at the mall in 2018 after being previously located at the former Schuylkill Mall.[24][25] Cressona Mall was sold to Cressona Realty LLC (55%), Cressona CH LLC (40%), and Cressona Nassim LLC (5%) for $8,050,000 in November 2019.[4]
