History

Capital City Mall was developed by Crown American Corporation, Johnstown, PA and 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 its doors and the Garden Grove food court was added to the center of the mall. In August 1987, the vacant G.C. Murphy store was reopened as Ames. Later, Hess's was sold to May Department Stores in 1995 and they reopened the store into a Hecht's, which opened that fall. Ames closed their store in 1995. From 1996-1999, the mall was renovated, with the former Ames being expanded and reopening as a JCPenney in November 1995, and Sears completing an expansion and interior renovation in 1999. More changes came in 2005 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.

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 the space was converted into a DSW store in March 2013. The Garfield's restaurant also closed in 2013. The freestanding Toys "R" Us in the rear parking lot has relocated to the Carlisle Pike about 5 miles away and that building was demolished in early 2015. The outdoor enthusiast store Field & Stream, a freestanding anchor, opened in 2015. The Sears store closed in 2017 and will be replaced by Dick's Sporting Goods.[2]

Some of the stores which had presence in the mall were Paul Harris, Kinney Shoes, Video Concepts, Wee Three Records, American Outfitters, Peoples Drug, John Craig Men's Fashions, Hanover Shoes, Merry-Go-Round, Chess King, Deb Shop, Fashion Bug, Lane Bryant, Radio Shack, Bombay Company, Camelot Music, Waldenbooks, B.
