History

Cressona Mall opened on October 2, 1973, with Hills as its anchor.^[2] Laneco had plans to open a store at the mall in early 1982, using the former Grant's space.^[9] Due to the store being sold, Acme was rebranded Insalacos in January 1995.^[10] Laneco closed at the mall in March 1995.^[11]^[12] Hills expanded its store and Staples opened at the mall in 1996.^[12] The Surgery Center of Pottsville opened in 2006.^[4] The Cressona Mall in 2007-2008 received exterior renovations.^[7]^[13] Alvernia University opened a satellite campus in 2009, using former office and store space.^[14]^[15]^[16] CVS Pharmacy moved out of the mall in October 2010.^[17] Goodwill opened in February 2014, using the former CVS Pharmacy space.^[18] In February 2015, the primary sprinkler water pipe broke during cold weather.^[19]

Due to an unpaid court judgement over the renovations, Wells Fargo foreclosed on the mall in 2015.^[20]^[21] 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.^[22] Cressona Mall was sold on October 15, 2015, at a United States Marshals auction for $9,281,842.21 to Wells Fargo.^[23]^[24]^[25]^[26] JPMCC 2005-CIBC13 Route 61 South Limited Partnership was listed as the owner under Wells Fargo.^[3]^[23] Planet Fitness opened in November 2016; negotiations to be located at the mall took over a year.^[3]^[27] Goodwill completed an expansion in February 2017.^[28]

Cinderella's Closet opened at the mall in 2018 after being previously located at the former Schuylkill Mall.^[29]^[30] 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.^[31] Namdar Realty Group was later named in several articles as the primary owner.^[4]^[32] Cressona Mall was again sold in November 2021 for $16 million to America's Realty.^[4]^[5]^[32] The Surgery Center of Pottsville closed in June 2022.^[4] Repaving of the parking out occurred at the Cressona Mall in late 2022.^[33] Alvernia University left the Cressona Mall in January 2023 and moved into a new location within Pottsville.^[4]^[34]^[35]^[36]^[37]
