"The Nittany Mall was developed by Crown American and officially opened in January 1968. The mall originally had just two anchors, Grants and Penn Traffic, and approximately 30 smaller stores. Its first expansion in 1970 included the addition of a Sears store, which was relocated from downtown State College, and over a dozen other smaller stores. The new Sears included 45 merchandise departments and a 10-bay automotive center.
In November 2017, Sears announced it would be closing 63 more of its stores including the Nittany Mall location. The Sears store closed in January 2018 but the automotive center remained open for three more years. In April 2018, it was announced that the entire Bon-Ton stores chain would be closing as the company failed to find a suitable buyer. The Sears and Bon-Ton closures left the mall with just two anchors (Dunham's Sports and Macy's) for the first time since 1970.
On January 6, 2020, it was announced that the Macy's store would be closing in March 2020.[8] In March 2021, Rural King department store opened in the former Sears space. A few months later in June 2021, Gabe's department store opened in the former Bon-Ton location. Construction of a Bally's mini-casino, which had been expected to open at the former Macy's site in 2022, has been delayed due to ongoing petition hearings."
