History
Fingerlakes Mall was developed by The Pyramid Companies of Syracuse, New York in 1980. Originally, the mall featured Chappell's, JCPenney, Kmart, and Sears as its anchor stores; at the time, the mall also featured a movie theater and roller skating arena. Chappell's moved to Camillus in 1994, and Kmart closed a year later. As these anchor stores closed, the mall began to lose many inline tenants, and by the late 1990s, it was forty-five percent occupied.[2] Peebles soon replaced Chappell's[3] but then closed not long afterward.
In June 1992, the mall was sold to Jager Management, who in turn sold it to Gregory Greenfield & Associates (GG&A) five months later.[4] Under GG&A's management, and with Jones Lang LaSalle as a leasing agent, the mall was renovated inside and outside.[4] By 2003, it was at eighty percent occupancy.[2][4]
Sears was later re-located from its existing store to the space vacated by Kmart. The former Sears store and adjoining mall space were converted to Bass Pro Shops, which opened in 2004.[5]
In the end of September 2012, The Finger Lakes Theatre closed it doors after 7 years being opened by the management company who also controls Auburn's Movieplex 10 in Auburn, NY.[6] Sears announced the closure of its Fingerlakes store in late 2014.[7]
