WATERFORD SCOOP: Last Anchor at Crystal Mall to Close!

JCPenney will be closing their location at the Crystal Mall in Waterford this spring! According to the employee on the phone, a liquidation sale is underway.

JCPenney is the last anchor store at the struggling Crystal Mall. The mall was once home to Macy's, Sears, Christmas Tree Shops. and Bed Bath & Beyond; all of which have closed in recent years. The mall underwent a renovation in  2011 to update the interior to a modern look. The mall has struggled in recent years.  In recent years, many popular chains have closed up shop including Old Navy, J Jill, Dressbarn, Abercrombie, Loft, Starbucks, Champs, Gap, Zumiez, EbLens, H&M, and many more.

Four food court tenants closed their doors earlier this year. The struggling mall has lost Charleys Cheesesteaks, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Subway restaurants. The only remaining food court tenants include Dairy Queen, Wok Express, and Sarku Japan.

No closing date has been announced. Though an employee stated it would take around 4 months to liquidate the current inventory.
