Sunrise Mall[2] is a shopping mall located in East Massapequa, New York. The mall opened on August 30, 1973 as the first 2-level shopping mall on Long Island.
History
Opened on August 30, 1973, Sunrise Mall was originally anchored by JCPenney (now closed), Gertz (later Stern's, later Sears, now closed), Macy's, and E. J. Korvette (later Abraham & Straus, then Stern's, then Walmart, now Dick's Sporting Goods and Dave & Buster's). It was remodeled in 1991 and it was acquired by the Westfield Group in 2005.[3] In May 2012, XSport Fitness opened its doors for the first time.
On August 4, 2020, it was announced that the mall would be going back to its original name, Sunrise Mall.[4] On January 4, 2021. Sunrise Mall was purchased by Urban Edge Properties from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield for $29.7 million.
Closures
Walmart closed its store in the mall on March 6, 2015.[5] On March 17, 2017, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing their store in the mall and liquidation sales were expected to begin on April 17, 2017. However, on April 13, 2017, JCPenney announced that due to more shoppers coming to the store, liquidation sales would begin on May 22, 2017 instead of April 17, 2017. The store ultimately closed on July 31, 2017.[6]
On October 1, 2021, it was announced that Sears would be closing on October 3, 2021, due to them being forced out of the building by October 14, 2021. This left Macy's as the only traditional anchor left in the mall.[7]
In February 2022, it was announced that the mall would not be renewing leases for its remaining tenants and let those leases expire.[8]
