History
The mall was first announced in May 1976, to be development by a joint effort of
Sears would join the mall with its grand opening on August 3, 1994,[8][9] as part of $12 million expansion project. The store, like J. C. Penney, would replace a location in downtown Stroudsburg. The Sears move had been announced as early as 1990 but did not occur until 1994.[10] Sears was the only two-story anchor in the mall, and featured what at the time was the first escalator to be located in Monroe County. The novelty of the escalator caused quite a stir in local media, and as part of the festivities Sears had reigning Miss Pennsylvania Kirstin Deliz Border on hand for the occasion.[11]
The Bon-Ton would take over Hess's at the mall in 1994, as part of the 20 stores they purchased during the chain's break up.[12] The mall would receive another renovation in 2002.[13]
