The Johnstown Galleria is a two-level dead shopping mall in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.[1][8] It is anchored by Boscov's.[9] Former anchors were The Bon-Ton, Sears and Roebuck, and J. C. Penney. The three anchors closed in 2018 and left Boscov's as the remaining anchor.

History

Boscov's opened before the mall on September 19, 1992, and was the chains first store constructed in Central/Western Pennsylvania.[10] The Johnstown Galleria was built by Zamias Services, Inc. and opened on October 22, 1992 with space for a fifth anchor that was never filled.[2][3][11] It opened with anchors Bon-Ton, Boscov's, J. C. Penney, and Sears.[11] The Boscov's, former Bon-Ton, and former Sears buildings are independently owned.[2][4] Zamias sold the mall to Gemini Real Estate Advisors for $57 million in 2008, but remained as management.[2][12]

Steve & Barry's had a small format store open for a short time at the mall in the late 2000s.[13][14] Adar Johnstown Limited Liability Corporation purchased the property the mall is located on in 2014.[15] Pax Mall Realty settled a tax dispute with Cambria County over the value of the Boscov's anchor in 2017.[16] Bon-Ton closed at the mall in late April 2018 and was the first anchor to close in the Galleria.[17][18] Sears and J. C. Penney closed in summer 2018.[19][20]

Parking lot and road conditions were reported as poor in March 2019.[21] Spinoso Real Estate Group took over management from Zamias Services, Inc. on February 1, 2020 due to the mall entering receivership.[4] ADAR Johnstown Limited Liability Co., the owner of the malls property, owed $14.6 million and stopped mortgage payments in October 2019.[4][9]

On January 31, 2018, The Bon Ton announced they would be closing 42 locations as part of their bankruptcy, including this location. A few weeks later, Sears and J. C. Penney announced they would be closing.
