Richland Mall was developed by Richland Mall Associates of Michigan in 1974 as an enclosed shopping mall. Original anchor tenants included Penn Traffic Department Store, Sears and Kmart; Penn Traffic was later replaced by Hess's and then The Bon-Ton. In 1992 The Johnstown Galleria, developed by Zamias Services, Inc., opened nearby. Sears relocated to The Galleria and Hills Department Store took its place. Ames Department Store later replaced Hills before that chain declared bankruptcy and closed. The only remaining stores in the mall included Kmart and Richland Mall Cinemas. In 2003 the mall property was purchased and the mall was demolished. Kmart closed and Richland Mall Cinemas simply became Richland Cinemas when it relocated to a new theater complex nearby. Richland Town Centre opened on the site in 2004.[2]
