Wenatchee Valley Mall is a shopping mall located in East Wenatchee, Washington. It opened in 1978[1] and is anchored by Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy's, Ross Dress For Less, and Sportsman's Warehouse.
The gross leasable area of the mall is 340,786 square feet (31,660.1 m2),[2] meaning it is smaller than a regional mall, per the definitions of the International Council of Shopping Centers.[3][4] However, despite its small size, Wenatchee Valley Mall is the only mall within an 80-mile (130 km) radius of East Wenatchee,[5] and thus serves a population of over 200,000 people.[2]
History
The mall opened in 1975[6] with Sears (1973[7]), Lamonts (2nd phase), and Buttrey-Osco Food & Drug.[8] The Bon Marché had planned to add a store at Wenatchee Valley Mall as early as 1996;[9] however, the store did not open until taking the former Buttrey building in 2001. This store became Bon-Macy's in 2003, and Macy's in 2005. Gottschalks, which replaced Lamonts in 2000, closed in 2005, and was replaced with Bed Bath & Beyond and Ross Dress For Less.[10]
Original tentants for phase I included Det's Toys, DJ's Sound City, The Bread Board, Crains Book Store, Radio Shack, Breslers 33 Flavors, Orange Julius, The Squire Shop, Hallmark, Hickory Farms, Ken's Shoes, and others. Ernst Hardware was a separate building, located to the south west of Buttery-Osco
In 1978, phase II [6] which included Lamonts, brought in AT&T Phone Store, First Mutual Savings and Loan, Merle Norman Cosmetics, Style Masters, The Apple Bin Restaurant, Boots and Bitches, and others. Slice-a-Pizza was added later on. This phase connected the mall from Sears and Buttrey-Osco.
Sears closed in 2013 and its building was sold to Sportsman's Warehouse the same year. In turn, Sears opened a smaller-format store.[11]
