Oakdale Commons (formerly Oakdale Mall) is an enclosed super-regional shopping mall in Johnson City, New York, United States, serving the Binghamton metropolitan area. The mall has a gross leasable area of 963,475 square feet (89,510 m2).[1] The mall opened in 1975, by the development company, Interstate Properties.
The mall features JCPenney and Dick's House of Sport. In 2023, BJ's Wholesale Club announced that they would be opening at the mall in an area that had previously been used to house The Bon-Ton.[2]
The later 2010s saw several department store retailers update their brick-and-mortar formats after being encroached upon to a degree by several digital retailers in recent years.
In 2017, Macy's, which retains several larger outposts around Albany and Syracuse, announced that after a strategy had been elected by them to solely focus on their highest achieving locations that they would be leaving the shopping center.[3] The previous Macy's outpost was reconstructed for Dick's House of Sports, a specialty concept by Dick's Sporting Goods which opened in 2023.[4]
In 2017, it was announced Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its brick-and-mortar format. The previous Sears outpost was reconstructed to feature "Factory by Beer Tree" a restaurant offering two levels of indoor and outdoor dining space, and Lourdes Health and Fitness which includes three large salt water pools, a steam room and sauna, and an enormous fitness floor.[5]
In April 2018, The Bon-Ton announced that it would close after it wasn't able to establish any new conditions to satisfy its established long-term debt.[6] In March 2023, it was revealed that the previous location of The Bon-Ton will become an outpost for BJ's Wholesale Club.[2][7]
In September 2022, Burlington announced it would be transitioning to an entirely new outpost at Town Square Mall in Vestal.[8]
On April 21, 2023, it was announced that Dave & Busters would be opening at the mall.[9]
On October 14, 2022 , it was reported the mall envisions a $117 million plan to further develop the concourse while being known simply as Oakdale Commons. The mall developer proclaimed "We have significant plans for further development".[10][11]
