[edit] History
Aviation Mall opened in 1976 with Sears, Robert Hall (a discounter), and Denby's (a regional chain) as anchors. The mall was relatively small when it first opened, but was later expanded in the early 80's with a Caldor department store. Denby's was also replaced with JCPenney. In the 1994, JCPenney built a new store next to its old store, with mall management converting the old space to more small store space, and TJ Maxx was added the same year. The food court was also remodeled at this time. Target built on in 2004, and Dick's Sporting Goods moved into the remaining vacant portion of the original JCPenney slot in 2005.
The Pyramid Companies unveiled a plan in 1998 to triple the mall’s size. Plans called for 14 movie theater screens, a new department store, and several big box tenants. he owners received approval for the project; however, it was scaled back to only a couple big box stores.
