There are four vacant anchor stores that were onceThe Bon-Ton,Sears andBurlington Coat Factory, as well asAMC Theatres, which departed abruptly in mid 2021.
The one-story Uniontown Mall was developed by Crown American and opened in 1972.Sears andGee Bee were the mall's original anchor stores.[2] ABon-Ton store opened at the mall in 1975, andJCPenney andHess's followed later.

In 1999, the Hess's store closed and was eventually divided between a Timeless Traditions furniture store and a branch ofTeleTech (TTEC), which specializes in providingcustomer service andtelemarketing for variousbusinesses. In 2003, the property was acquired byPREIT as part of its acquisition of the malls owned byCrown American. In 2007, Value City closed but later becameBurlington Coat Factory.[citation needed]
By 2008, it had four anchor tenants – Burlington Coat Factory, JCPenney, Sears, and the Bon-Ton – but in a few years, the mall would see multiple closures.[citation needed]
In January 2015, PREIT announced plans to sell the Uniontown Mall, along with four other malls. The mall's sale toMason Asset Management andNamdar Realty Group was completed in August 2015.[3]
