[edit] History

Fingerlakes Mall was developed by the 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][3] Peebles soon replaced Chappell's but then closed not long afterward. A clothing store called Manhattan 101 briefly occupied the former Peebles space before closing as well.[citation needed]

In June of 1999, 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; mall entrances were rebuilt; and new stores were brought to the mall.[4] By 2003, the mall was at eighty percent occupancy.[3][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]
