History
Shoppingtown opened in 1954 as one of Syracuse's first suburban open-air shopping centers. Early tenants included Dey Brothers department store, The Addis Company (later merged into Addis and Dey's), Woolworth, W.T. Grant, and a Kallet movie theater. A Grand Union supermarket was added on the eastern end.
Television station WNYS-TV opened its first studios in the basement of Shoppingtown when it began broadcasting in 1962. The studio caught fire in April 1967. The call letters were changed to WIXT-TV in 1978, and the station moved from Shoppingtown to new studios on nearby Bridge Street in East Syracuse in 1985.
After expanding several times in the 1960s, Shoppingtown was converted to an enclosed shopping mall in 1975, and was substantially remodeled in 1991. The mall was owned by Macerich, which acquired it from Wilmorite Properties in 2005, but was sold in 2011 to Macerich. Macerich managed the mall until 2012, when the new owners hired Jones Lang LaSalle to manage the mall. In 2014, MoonBeam Capital Investments bought the mall for 13.6 million.
In January 2015, it was announced the Macy's store in Shoppingtown was closing as part of a plan to close 14 stores nationwide.
In February 2015, Moonbeam Capital Investments said that they will demolish the Sears wing and turn it in to a strip mall. This has been halted because of tax issues. There is a high chance that this demolition may never happen, there has been no word from the company in months.
JCPenney announced on January 7, 2016 that it will close the Shoppingtown Mall location on April 8, 2016.
