History
Schuyler Lake Mall was developed by Wegmans Food Markets and the DeBartolo Corporation. The mall opened in 1977 as "Wegman Mall" with six anchors; Sibley's (now Macy's), Sears (closed in 2020), McCurdy's, Best Products (closed in 1996; now P.C. Richard & Son), Wegmans, and JCPenney.

In 1983, Wegmans sold its 50% stake in the mall to the Schuyler Amusements, Inc. (SAI), resulting in the mall being renamed to Schuyler Lake Mall, named after the nearby amusement park. An expansion was done after DeBartolo Corporation and SAI became the owners of the mall, the expansion included the addition of five anchor stores Montgomery Ward, B. Altman (opened in the mall in the mall's former skatepark), Alexander's (now Ollie's Bargain Outlet), Toys "R" Us, and an outparcel Chase-Pitkin home improvement store. In 1988, DeBartolo sold the mall to The Mills Corporation. In 1989 construction began on an expansion including a parking garage with some additional retail space and a food court that was to be completed in 1991.
