Crossgates Mall is one of the largest shopping
malls in upstate New York. It is located off Washington and Western
Avenues in Albany at the beginning of the Adirondack Northway
(I-87). The mall is officially in the Town of Guilderland.
Crossgates opened in March of 1984 and
was later expanded in October 1994. It has over 250 shops, restaurants
and cinemas.
Anchor tenants include Macy's, JC Penney,
Cohoes, Dick's Sporting Goods and Best Buy. A Lord & Taylor
store closed in January, 2005 and Filene's closed in 2006 due
to the merger with Federated Stores. Macy's moved into the larger
space vacted by Filene's and left its old location in the middle
of the mall.
The two-level mall also has a Regal Cinemas
theater with 18 movie screens. An original 12-screen cinema closed
in February, 2005.
Restaurants at Crossgates Mall include
Ruby Tuesday, Unos, Houlihans and Johnny Rockets. The restaurants
Bugaboo Creek and Hooters closed in 2007 due to financial problems.
Across the street from Crossgates Mall
off Washington Avenue Extension is Crossgates Commons, which
features several big box stores including Wal-Mart, Home Depot
and Sports Authority. Sam's Club closed in Crossgates Commons
in 2006 and the space is being used by Wal-Mart to build a two-level
store. When completed, it will be the largest Wal-Mart in the
nation.
Crossgates is owned by the Pyramid Corp.
of Syracuse which also runs the Carousel Mall in Syracuse and
Palisades Center in West Nyack,
NY.
Crossgates began a new parental escort
policy in July, 2005 which requires a person over 21 to accompany
children under 18 on Friday and Saturday after 4 p.m.
