The situation here is essentially over and it's just a matter of what the next steps are…read more Susquehanna Valley Mall has lost too many stores to recover, including anchor store Bon-Ton, Books-A-Million, and Victoria's Secret among many others. The mall remains in relatively good condition, despite the lack of stores. We found out why no major changes have occurred; the previous owners were deep in debt. The mall went for sheriff's sale in August 2019 and is now owned by the bank. The only major developments that have occurred is the sale of the former Sears to Family Practice Center, who have been renovating it into a clinic. The future of the Susquehanna Valley Mall is a mystery. Until it's sold to a new owner, the mall continues to lose stores in "status quo" mode. I'd like to see the former Weis sold to Ollie's Bargain Outlet, who needs a MUCH better space. I suspect the mall will have to be redeveloped by new owners and it's a real question how much will remain a traditional mall. Finally, how will the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation Project bypass affect the shopping strip when completed? There will probably be no happy ending at the Susquehanna Valley Mall.

Lycoming Mall…read morecould never overcome the loss of four anchors (Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, and Bon-Ton) with the negligent ownership of the Kohan Retail Investment Group. The loss of Jr. anchors, including Old Navy and soon Dick's will only accelerate the malls end. What's left? Burlington and Books A Million are the best-known remaining stores. Empty storefronts dominate all wings of the mall now, with the Bon-Ton wing now being almost empty. The empty storefronts of Gap, Old Navy, Hot Topic, Arby's, and f.y.e. all remain identifiable, a reminder of this mall's better times. Ownership has not been keeping up with maintenance, as the parking lot has several areas blocked off and water damage is beginning to become more visible in several places. The area surrounding the mall has started to rebound after several tough years, with replacements coming in for Gander Outdoors, Grizzly Industrial, Pier 1, and Toys R Us. This makes the property attractive for redevelopment. What will happen to the mall? Demolition. Walmart would be an obvious option for a redevelopment, as the Williamsport area lacks a Walmart Supercenter and the current store in Montoursville has no room for expansion. Some portion of the mall and Burlington could remain depending on how creative future ownership can be. I can remember when this was one of the good malls that would be a special trip to shop at. Sadly, those days are over, like the Lycoming Mall.

And for them to be out in the daytime means the place is infested. We immediately went home and washed our clothes bc we were completely freaked out. The smell in the place is awful as well. Especially in the basement. There are many other well kept antique stores to visit. I would avoid this one.

The Point at Carlisle Plaza is the Harrisburg metro area's forgotten mall. Located a short distance…read moreoff of Interstate 81, it was already significantly reconfigured once in the 2000's. The property is anchored by Lowe's, with the vacant Bon-Ton never being permanently filled after closing. This sadly is a textbook dead mall, with only Dunham's Sports, Added Touch hair salon, and Nail Glamour remaining in the interior. Everything else that was previously here has closed or moved. The interior is very retro with brick planters and a stage area in the center of the mall. A unique mural about the history of Carlisle is located towards the Lowe's end of the mall. With discussions about rezoning and redevelopment occurring in early 2025, it's rather certain that The Point at Carlisle Plaza will not be here in a few years. The building is in decent shape, but it being repurposed seems very doubtful.

It's always interesting to tour a mall that has died and is actively attempting to resurrect…read moreitself. Give or take 35 storefronts that are occupied. That's if you count the non-retail establishments as viable locations to visit in a mall. I did take a stroll around the mall just to get a feel of the layout. It is a fairly decent sized mall, and I can see this place being busy back when it first opened and years beyond that. But like one reviewer has stated in a prior review, once stores started open up on the main drag through town which make those stores more accessible to the university students, the mall started to decline. Along my route through the mall I did make multiple stops along the way. Into and out of a few select stores. An oddity of this mall is that there is no food court or any type of eatery to speak of. That could be chalked up to the year that it was originally built, 1968. But that does not explain why they didn't think about this with each of the expansions they did on this mall. You could have at least thought about having a food court in one of the wings. Enough with the depressing thoughts about this place. There seems to be some light at the end of this very narrow tunnel. Each of the vacant anchor stores have already been filled, or will be filled shortly. Although, when you think of anchor stores, you don't think of those stores as your typical anchor store. But when you think about it, when you think of a mall now, they do not reflect what a typical mall is. Maybe with the addition of the mini casino here soon that will draw some stores. Whether it be a wonky national chain or a local spot that sees the potential. Only time will tell.

Nittany Mall is troubled and there's no way around that. It's too far away from the university and…read moredoesn't have the trendier shopping and dining options North Atherton Street does. Externally, the mall around the former Bon-Ton looks massively out of date. The mall is also small for an area with such a large population. Parking lot is in surprisingly good shape except for parts around the former Macy's. Every anchor since 2015 has left Nittany Mall, with the only replacement being Dunham's Sports. Rural King is to open in the former Sears at a TBD date. Nittany's layout is similar to the now closed Phillipsburg Mall in New Jersey. Interior was clearly renovated at some point as the mall has a 90's color scheme. Nittany's interior is in surprisingly good shape with almost no water damage, a common sight in a mall like this. Tenant mix is that of a dying mall. Several national chains still call the mall home, but those are mixed among the many empty storefronts. Several local businesses have space here. Planet Fitness has no mall entrance, a bad thing for the amount of space they occupy. A local senior center also uses space. Mall does have a bookstore, Bradley's Book Outlet. Nittany Mall has no food court. I would estimate Nittany Mall will not be open in five years, but some of the anchors might. After seeing this mall in person, it would also be a challenge to de-mall portions of Nittany without significant investment. The current owners, Namdar Realty Group, do not make those investments, making the future of the mall uncertain.
