Capital City Mall is a 608,911-square-foot (56,569.7 m2) regional shopping mall located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Harrisburg in Lower Allen Township, Pennsylvania. It is one of three enclosed malls in the immediate Harrisburg area, and is the only enclosed mall in Harrisburg's western suburbs. Its current anchors are JC Penney, Macy's, and Sears. The free standing Toys-R-Us in the rear parking lot has relocated to the Carlisle Pike about 5 miles away and that building remains vacant. The mall is owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust. An extensive redevelopment project was completed in 2006, which relocated and expanded the food court. This gave the mall an additional 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2). of retail space, with 2 full service dining options (Davenport's Italian Oven and Garfield's) added as well. In 2011 the Davenport's Italian Oven Closed and this space is currently being remodeled.
History
Capital City Mall opened in 1974 with Bowman's, Murphy's Mart and Sears as its anchors, as well as a movie theater. Bowman's was a locally based department store and closed in 1979. Their location was expanded and became the Harrisburg area's first Hess's later that year. In 1985, more changes came to the mall. G.C. Murphy closed and was reopened as Ames, and the Garden Grove food court was added to the center of the mall. Hess's went out of business in 1995, and sold their location to Hecht's, which opened that fall. Ames closed their store in 1995. From 1996-1997, the mall was renovated, with the former Ames being expanded and reopening as a JC Penney, and Sears completing an expansion and interior renovation. More changes came in 2006 when Hecht's was converted to Macy's, and the Garden Grove food court (now simply called the food court) relocated to the location of the former United Artists movie theater. The old food court was then redeveloped into additional mall space.
