Columbia Mall is a shopping mall located just outside of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The mall is next to Interstate 80 and PA 42.[1] It also serves the Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, as well as several surrounding communities, such as Bloomsburg and Buckhorn, Pennsylvania.[2]
History
The mall opened in 1988 with anchors Sears, J. C. Penney, The Bon-Ton, and Hills Department Stores.[1][2] Sears and J. C. Penney moved from downtown Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania to become anchor stores when the mall opened.[2] The only anchor change was when Hills converted to Ames in 1999.[5][6][7] After the closure of Ames in 2002, the vacant store was used occasionally for the Animal Resource Center Yard Sale, Eagle Arms Gun Show, and WNEP Outdoor Expo.[8] Auntie Anne's and F.Y.E. both closed in 2010.[9][10] Dunham's Sports opened in 2011 occupying most of the empty Ames store.[7] Sears announced that it would be closing the Columbia Mall location on January 18, 2015.[11][12][13]
