Fifth and Sixth Anchors
The Wilton Mall now has its fifth anchor, JCPenney. The original fifth anchor was intended for Montgomery Ward, but it never came to The Wilton Mall due to bankruptcy in 1998. Later Boscov's was said to become Wilton Mall's fifth anchor store. However, officials in the Town of Clifton Park, New York convinced Boscov's to build a store at Clifton Park Center instead. A second 84,000-square-foot (7,800 m2) JCPenney has replaced the old one. Half of the old JCPenney space was converted into a Planet Fitness, which opened in May 2012. The other half of the Old JC Penney space was converted into a branch of Burlington, Vermont's Healthy Living Market, a food store, which opened in March 2013, adding a sixth anchor.

Famous quotes containing the words sixth and/or anchors:
“The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
