History

Aviation Mall opened in 1975 with JCPenney and Denby's (a regional chain) as anchors. The mall was relatively small when it first opened, but was later expanded with Sears and then Caldor. In 1994, JCPenney built a new store next to its old store, with mall management converting the old space to more small store space. TJ Maxx was added the same year replacing space previously occupied by Magrams. In 1998, Caldor closed in a wave of underpreforming stores(in 1999, a year later, the whole chain would be closed), and became a Bon Ton store. The food court was also remodeled at this time. Target built on in 2004, and Dick's Sporting Goods moved into the remaining vacant portion of the original JCPenney slot in 2005.

The Pyramid Companies unveiled a plan in 1998 to triple the mall's size with an convert|850000|sqft|m2|sing=on addition on adjoining property purchased for this purpose. Plans called for 14 movie theater screens, a new department store, and several big box tenants. [Moore, Deborah. [http://www.bizjournals.com/albany/stories/1998/05/04/story8.html "Pyramid builds on plans to lure tourists to mall"] , "The Business Review", May 1, 1998. Accessed December 15, 2007. "Pyramid Cos. also is proposing to expand its convert|575000|sqft|m2|sing=on Aviation Mall in Queensbury by constructing an convert|850000|sqft|m2|sing=on, three-story addition."] The owners received approval for the project; however, it was scaled back to only a couple big box stores, which are today Target and the new Dick's Sporting Goods.
