History
The mall opened in 1980 with Sears, Bradlees, Hess's, and J. C. Penney. Bradlees converted to Target in 2002, and Hess's to Kaufmann's before becoming Macy's in 2006.
In 2003, the mall's once sunken center court was elevated, and brick ornamentation around its food court columns were removed.
In 2007, the unique "boulder" fountain in front of JCPenney was buried with wood chips and artificial vegetation. All of the globular tinted glass torches have been removed due to remodeling which occurred in June 2013. There was originally a fountain within the food court, but it was later removed due to noise issues. The fountain in front of the Sears entrance was removed as well in the early 2000s. The only current fountain is in front of the Macy's entrance. However, this fountain has been up for discussion for removal as well. In the summer of 2013, the "boulder" fountain in front of JCPenney was removed. The mall has had many entertainment options including arcades, and nice sit-down restaurants over the years, but in recent years many have left. The only arcade closed in late 2011 for construction of DSW Shoe Warehouse. The last sit-down restaurant, Friendly's, closed in January 2013, bringing other smaller food stores along such as Gertrude Hawk and Chicken Now (now closed), leaving only 7 restaurants.
Stores which have also closed include McDonald's, Hoyts Cinema, Old Navy, Circuit City, GameStop, Friendly's in 2013, RadioShack, Sears and Express in 2015, and Gap and Hallmark in early 2016. Hess's and Kaufmann's. On April 8, 2015, Sears announced that it would be closing its Sangertown Square store.
There have been several plans to expand Sangertown Square, but many have never left the drawing board. Past plans included a 1998 expansion and retrofit for the Sears and JCPenney stores as well as construction of a 900 space parking garage and the proposed 2004 ThEATery.
In 2014, work to modernize Sangertown Square began, which includes new seating, decorative lightning, new tile, exterior entrances, and an improved landscape. Another addition will be Buffalo Wild Wings which will open in the former Circuit City building.
In June 2015, Sears closed its Sangertown Square location, which was converted to a Boscov's one year later.
