History

Prior to the existence of Wenatchee Valley Mall, the site was occupied by a strip mall known as Eastmont Shopping Center, which featured Sears, Schneider's Department Store and Eastmont Pharmacy. [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_go1586/is_200202/ai_n6705297 Our downtown will survive, grow. (My View)] ] The center was re-developed as Wenatchee Valley Mall in 1978, with Lamonts as an additional anchor store.

The Bon Marché had planned to add a store at Wenatchee Valley Mall as early as 1996 [ [http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-18250356.html The Bon Marche plans for new Wenatchee store] ] ; however, the store did not open until 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.
