The southwest entry of the Penn Traffic / Hess's / The Bon Ton store,
showing some of the very '70s, rounded corners that were used on
virtually every structure in the complex.

The mall's Main Entrance was remodeled, as seen here, during a 1989
renovation.

K-Mart, an original 1974 anchor, was refashioned into a Big K-Mart-
format store in the 1990s. The building had no exterior doors, hence
the only way to enter or leave was via the mallway opening. The
exterior doorways seen here comprised the mall's northeast entrance.
The entry into K-Mart was inside and down the hall.

As quoted on the site:
"Reputedly, the building originally had only a mall entrance. The exterior doorways seen here must have been added during the Big K-Mart conversion."
The doors you see in the photo are doors that lead into the mall. Not directly into Kmart. Kmart never had direct outside access. You could only get into Kmart via one of the malls main entrances.
Webmaster,
Thanks much for clearing that up.
The article and artwork has been fixed.
