Uniontown Mall is a regional enclosed shopping mall in South Union Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania (just outside the city of Uniontown, Pennsylvania). It is anchored by JCPenney and includes an AMC Classic theater.
History
The one-story mall was developed by Crown American and opened in 1972. Sears and Gee Bee were the mall's original anchor stores.[2] A Bon-Ton store opened at the mall in 1975, and JCPenney and Hess's followed later. In 1992, the Gee Bee store became Value City.
In 1999, the Hess's store closed and was eventually divided between a Timeless Traditions Furniture Store and a branch of TeleTech (which specializes in providing customer service and telemarketing for various businesses). In 2003, the property was acquired by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) as part of the merger with Crown American. In 2007, Value City closed but later became Burlington.
By 2008, it had 4 anchors (Burlington, JCPenney, Sears, and The Bon-Ton), but in a few years the mall would see closures.
In January 2015, PREIT announced plans to sell the Uniontown Mall, along with four other malls. The mall's sale to Mason Asset Management and Namdar Realty Group was completed in August 2015.[3]
In March 2017, Sears closed followed by The Bon-Ton closing in August 2018. In January 2019, Burlington announced to not renew their lease. 2 other major tenants (Dunham's Sports, and Timeless Traditions Furniture) closed in January 2019. Timeless Traditions Furniture moved to the former Super Kmart in Uniontown.
