Latham Circle Mall was an enclosed shopping mall located adjacent to the Latham Circle (the intersection of US 9 and NY 2) in Latham, New York. Built in 1957 as Latham Corners Shopping Center, the mall was renovated several times in its history, most notably in 1977 when it became a fully enclosed and temperature-controlled shopping mall. As of 2013, its sole tenant is its anchor store, JCPenney, which has been part of the complex since it opened in 1957. By the early 2000s, the mall had become classified as a dead mall. Demolition of the mall began in March 2013. == History == The Latham Circle Mall was a shopping mall located next to Latham Circle in Latham, New York. it opened in 1957 as an open-air plaza called Latham Corners Shopping Center,〔http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AcUdTl7Aq-s/S3xDiWiCpvI/AAAAAAAARII/hMw4RSIDaBI/s1600/02_Latham%2BCorners%2Bgrand%2Bopening%2B-%2BCopy.jpg〕 before being converted into an enclosed mall in 1977. The new mall featured a JCPenney (which stayed over from the original 1957 strip), Woolworth, and Boston Store as anchors. The mall was expanded in 1988 to include a Caldor, a new JCPenney store to replace the old one, and a second level which would house the ten-screen movie theater. The two-level space occupied by The Boston Store closed in the late 1980s due to a fire. The store closed for remodeling and was replaced by Burlington Coat Factory in the early 1990s. Woolworth closed in 1995 and was replaced in 1998 with Stein Mart, which subsequently closed in 2001. A Gold's Gym later moved in there from a former Grand Union next to the mall, which has been demolished. They left in April 2005 to move to a new location on Route 2. Also, Caldor closed in early 1999 when the chain went out of business. The Caldor wing was demolished in 2003 for a Lowe's, which does not open out to the mall. Many other tenants began to leave during the 2000s, leaving Latham Circle as a dead mall. In February 2010, owners of the mall were in talks with a major retailer to occupy the open space, which subsequently did not happen. In May 2012, Burlington Coat Factory closed, leaving Regal Cinema and J.C. Penney. In early 2013, Regal Cinemas closed their cinema, leaving only J.C. Penney, which had been there since 1957, as the last tenant. In March 2013, demolition of the Latham Circle Mall began, to make way for a new shopping center.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/albany/morning_call/2012/04/burlington-coat-factory-closing-latham.html〕 JC Penney closed this location around January 4, 2014.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/albany/morning_call/2013/10/jcpenney-will-close-latham-circle-mall.html?iana=ind_retail〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latham Circle Mall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
