Granite Run Promenade

The property originally opened as the Granite Run Mall in 1974 with Gimbels and Sears as the original anchors. In January 1976, JCPenney joined the mall. In 1986, the Gimbels store was converted to Stern's after Allied Stores purchased seven Gimbels locations in the Philadelphia area. In 1989, Stern's closed and was eventually replaced with Boscov's in 1993. In 1998, Simon Property Group and Macerich purchased the mall, with Simon responsible for managing the mall. On September 23, 2013, the Granite Run Mall was sold to BET Investments, a real estate development firm owned by Bruce Toll and Michael Markman, at a cost of $24 million. In January 2015, it was announced the JCPenney store was closing in April as part of a plan to close 39 stores nationwide. The interior of the mall closed on July 1, 2015, with Sears and Boscov's remaining open. The demolition of the former mall began in 2016.
