Cressona Mall is a shopping mall in Pottsville, Pennsylvania off Route 61 and Route 183.[1]

History

The Cressona Mall in 2007-2008 received exterior renovations.[2] Alvernia University opened a satellite campus in 2009, using former office and store space.[7][8][9] CVS Pharmacy moved out of the mall in October 2010.[10] Goodwill opened in February 2014, using the former CVS Pharmacy space.[11] In February 2015, the primary sprinkler water pipe broke during cold weather.[12]

Due to an unpaid court judgement over the renovations, Wells Fargo foreclosed on the mall in 2015.[13][14] Cressona Associates, the malls owners, owed $8,797,305.81 on the original $9.9 million mortgage. The malls manager and Dack Realty, who managed the mall, both left before the property's auction.[15] Cressona Mall was sold on October 15, 2015 at a United States Marshals auction for $9,281,842.21 to Wells Fargo.[4][16][17][18] Planet Fitness opened in November 2016; negotiations to be located at the mall took over a year.[3][19] Goodwill completed an expansion in February 2017.[20]
