RICHLAND MALL came up against a formidable rival when GALLERIA JOHNSTOWN opened its doors, in October 1992. The shiny new mega mall snatched the RICHLAND Sears. GALLERIA JOHNSTOWN featured nearly 900,000 square feet of retail and was anchored by four department stores.

As a keeping up with the up-and-coming GALLERIA JOHNSTOWN measure, a face lift renovation was done at RICHLAND MALL during 1992. A new logo was also created.
