History

The mall originally opened in 1960 as an open-air center called Colonial Park Plaza and featured Sears and Food Fair as anchor stores. It was enclosed and renamed Colonial Park Mall in 1970.[4] Three years later, Pomeroy's was added to the mall.[5] In 1987, Boscov's was added. That same year, The Bon-Ton company acquired the Pomeroy's chain from Allied Department Stores and rebranded the stores as The Bon-Ton in 1990. The Bon-Ton store closed in 2018.

In 1997, Glimcher Realty Trust acquired the Colonial Park Mall from Catalina Partners LP. Washington Prime Group assumed ownership of the mall in 2014 when it acquired Glimcher Realty Trust. In 2017, Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the Colonial Park Mall from Washington Prime Group for $15 million.[2]
