History

[edit | edit source]

Viewmont Mall cost $10 million to construct and the original anchors included Grant's, JCPenney and Sears.[2][3][7] Sears opened first at the mall in February 1968, with JCPenney later opening in October.[2][8] Grant's closed at the Viewmont Mall in 1976 and was replaced by Hess's the same year.[3][9][10] Hess's built a larger store starting in 1987.[11] Sears received major changes in 1993 that roughly doubled the store's size.[12] Hess's closed in late summer 1994, and was replaced by Kaufmann's in Fall 1995.[9][10] Viewmont, along with Wyoming Valley Mall was sold by Crown American to PREIT in 2003.[13] Kaufmann's was renamed Macy's in September 2006.[10] Viewmont Mall received a major renovation in 2007.[14]

The malls food court in 2014 received significant changes including the addition of Buffalo Wild Wings.[15] Sears closed in mid-2016 and was demolished later in the year.[16][17] PREIT knew Sears would not remain at the mall several years before its lease expired.[5] Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream were announced as Sears replacement in April 2016 with the dual store opening in September 2017.[18][19][20] HomeGoods opened in August 2017 next to Field & Stream, on former Sears space.[21][22] Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream temporarily shut down at end of January 2023. The store was converted into a Dick's House of Sport which opened in August.[23][24]
