Time marches on, as the old newsreels used to say, usually trampling everything in its path. The latest casualties of the current retail apocalypse shuttered their CONESTOGA stores between late 2018 and early 2019, giving the mall something of a double whammy. To add insult to injury, J.C. Penney would pull up stakes in late 2020.

On the horizon is a plan to redevelop CONESTOGA MALL. It could be reconfigured as the 366,900 square foot CONESTOGA MARKETPLACE. This mixed-use facility could include retail stores, sit-down restaurants, a 5-story hotel and 304-unit apartment complex.
