Eastern Hills Mall
Eastern Hills Mall is a shopping mall located at the western border of the Town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, USA. It lies on Transit Road (NYS Route 78), a 73.49-mile highway, which in the vicinity of the mall, divides Clarence from the Town of Amherst (Buffalo, NY). The mall is north of the junction of NY-78 with NY-5, Main Street. The name "Eastern Hills" refers to the very low hills that contribute to a slightly higher elevation than the bordering areas along the Onondaga Escarpment. Eastern Hills Mall is part of a long commercial strip on Transit Road. It consists of two long wings running north and south and one short wing running east and west, which connects the north-south wings in a "double L-shaped" formation. A major department store is at the end of each wing, except for the southern end of the north wing, where there is a temporary wall barricading off what was once a large sporting goods store, but is now used by the mall for storage. A food court is located adjacent to the end of the long south wing. A three-screen movie theater showing mainly independent films is also located in the mall, as well as a small New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office. There is an extensive, widely unused and generally very poor condition parking lot surrounding the entire complex, providing the highest parking ratio of any Buffalo area mall. Much of the parking lot space is leased to area car dealerships to store overstock vehicles due to the low volume of shoppers at the mall. Eastern Hills Mall is currently at approximately 70% occupancy, with many vacant stores throughout the mall and popular anchor store Dave & Busters soon shutting its doors to move to nearby Walden Galleria.〔http://m.bizjournals.com/buffalo/news/2014/11/14/dave-buster-s-exiting-eastern-hills-for-walden.html?r=full〕 Eastern Hills is considered by many area residents to be a "dead mall" and is listed on the website Deadmalls.com.〔http://www.deadmalls.com/malls/eastern_hills_mall.html〕 Though at approximately 70% occupancy; except for the anchor stores, most major and nationally recognized retailers have left and been replaced by independently owned "mom-and-pop" type stores, selling crafts and homemade goods. It is common for retailers to open and close within their first few months, unable to turn a profit due to the extremely low volume of shoppers that still visit Eastern Hills Mall.
==History==
The Eastern Hills Mall was developed by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation. The mall was originally to be named "Buffalo Mall", but the name was changed to Eastern Hills Mall at the request of the town of Clarence. Construction began in 1969, some stores opened by 1971, and the mall was completed in 1972. The three-screen cinema was owned and operated by General Cinema Corporation from 1971 to 1993. It was then sold to Dipson Theaters and converted to an independent/art film cinema in 1998. The mall underwent an extensive overhaul in 1986 that added a food court. Another renovation to the small east-west center concourse and food court took place in 2005, largely cosmetic in nature. New floor tile was installed in both the center concourse and food court, and imitation fireplaces and small flat screen televisions were installed. The longer north-south concourses remained untouched during this second renovation, causing a break in a pink zig-zag floor tile line pattern, which prior to the 2005 renovation could be followed through the entire mall from end-to-end, but now remains only in the north-south concourses, broken by the new tile in the center concourse. Television station WBBZ-TV moved its studios to the mall in 2012.
