Great Northern Mall

JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods anchoring Great Northern Mall in Clay, New York, on Route 31 at the I-481 interchange in the suburban ring north of Syracuse, give the 1.2 million square foot super-regional mall its primary department store and sporting goods comparison-shopping platform for the Onondaga County, Oswego County, and Central New York household. Phoenix Theatres gives the property a cinema and entertainment anchor whose dwell time the retail floor alone does not produce. Texas Roadhouse and BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse anchor the full-service casual dining floor. Gacha-Gacha Station and YiHi Japan give the property a Japanese lifestyle goods and collectibles identity whose Central New York placement reflects the upstate New York university and international student population’s appetite for Japanese pop culture formats.

BoxLunch, Hot Topic, Spencer’s, and Earthbound Trading Co. give the property an alternative culture and pop culture lifestyle floor. Lane Bryant, Torrid, and Victoria’s Secret with PINK cover the women’s fashion floor. Journeys and Journeys Kidz serve the youth footwear categories. Carter’s Outlet gives the property a children’s clothing outlet identity. Rondinelli Tuxedo Company and Tuxedo Junction serve the formal wear rental categories. Kay Jewelers, Banter by Piercing Pagoda, and MJ Jewelers serve the fine jewelry floor. Foot Locker, Finish Line, Locker Room by Lids, and Skechers serve the athletic footwear and licensed sports merchandise floor. Bath and Body Works serves the accessible beauty category. LensCrafters and Visionworks serve the optical retail categories. Kid’s Empire and JoJo’s Arcade serve the children’s entertainment and gaming categories.

The property’s commercial role in Onondaga County is the Route 31 Clay super-regional mall: a JCPenney-Dick’s comparison-shopping anchor whose Phoenix Theatres cinema dwell time, Texas Roadhouse-BJ’s full-service dining floor, and Gacha-Gacha Station-YiHi Japan Japanese lifestyle identity serve the Syracuse metro and Central New York household as the primary super-regional comparison-shopping destination on the northern suburban corridor of the I-481 and Route 31 interchange.
