History
The original mall's original two anchor stores were Bamberger's (later became Macy's) and Sears. In 1994, a new wing was built anchored by Stern's. When the Stern's brand was phased out (with most other stores becoming Macy's stores) the anchor space became Boscov's, before the latter closed in May 2008 in preparation for the mall's demolition (Simon Property Group owned the Boscov's space while Macy's and Sears owned their respective real estate).
The mall, which used to be wetlands, had grown to 900,000 square feet (84,000 m2) and encompassed 120 stores in 1999. The mall went into decline following the opening of the nearby Palisades Center in March 1998. Nearly all of the stores except for Macy's and Sears closed by early 2011, when Simon unveiled plans to rebuild the mall as The Shops at Nanuet, an outdoor mall featuring shops, restaurants, a fitness center, and a Regal Cinemas movie theater, which opened on November 7, 2013. By January 2012, all the stores in the mall had closed (except for Macy's and Sears), and demolition had begun. Construction started after the demolition and the new Shops at Nanuet opened on October 10, 2013.
