History
Fingerlakes Mall was developed by The Pyramid Companies of Syracuse, New York in 1980. Originally, the mall featured Chappell's, JCPenney, Kmart, and Sears as its anchor stores; at the time, the mall also featured a movie theater and roller skating arena. Chappell's moved to Camillus in 1994, and Kmart closed a year later. As these anchor stores closed, the mall began to lose many inline tenants, and by the late 1990s, it was forty-five percent occupied. Peebles soon replaced Chappell's but then closed not long afterward.
In June 1999, the mall was sold to Jager Management, who in turn sold it to Gregory Greenfield & Associates (GG&A) five months later. Under GG&A's management, and with Jones Lang LaSalle as a leasing agent, the mall was renovated inside and outside. By 2003, it was at eighty percent occupancy.
Sears was later re-located from its existing store to the space vacated by Kmart. The former Sears store and adjoining mall space were converted to Bass Pro Shops, which opened in 2004.
In the end of September 2012, The Finger Lakes Theatre closed it doors after 7 years being opened by the management company who also controls Auburn's Movieplex 10 in Auburn, NY. source: http://auburnpub.com/news/local/fingerlakes-mall-s-movie-theater-shuts-its-doors/article_57eb70a2-07a1-5806-b7f7-3ad8cbe4ef53.html

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
